Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:
Carne Ross is the founder and executive director of Independent Diplomat, a nonprofit advisory group that works to foster democracy and supranational cooperation. Prior to his role there, Ross was a British Foreign Service officer for fifteen years. He worked in Bonn, and then for the UK mission to the United Nations (UN). As the UK delegation's expert on the Middle East, he was an early critic of British involvement in the Iraq war, and testified against entry in the Butler Review. After resigning in protest over this issue, he fought for human rights and rule of law in Kosovo. Ross appears frequently on the BBC, CNN, and Al Jazeera, and has written for various publications, including the Guardian and Slate. He lives in New York.
Carne Ross was a high-flying British diplomat who focused on many of the world's toughest issues, including Afghanistan, terrorism, and climate change. After working on Iraqi WMD and sanctions, he was one of only two British diplomats to resign over the 2003 Iraq War. That experience forced him to confront the deeper problems of a volatile, globalized world. A frequent commentator on current affairs on CNN, BBC, and Al Jazeera, and a contributor to The Guardian, Ross also founded, and now runs, Independent Diplomat, an advisory group that assists democratic countries and political groups around the world. He lives in New York City.
