About Speaker
Carne Ross, writer and thinker. He is a former British diplomat who resigned over the Iraq War. Since then, he founded and ran an innovative non-profit, Independent Diplomat, that advises democratic countries and political movements on their diplomatic strategy. He has written two books: “Independent Diplomat” looks at the deficits of contemporary diplomacy; “The Leaderless Revolution” discusses ways in which ordinary people can successfully govern and organise themselves, without relying on top-down authority: a model of ‘gentle anarchism’ that’s very relevant for today’s circumstances. Carne has written dozens of articles for national and international publications and is a frequent media commentator, on international radio and TV, about world affairs.
