An Independent Diplomat

http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/carne_ross_an_independent_diplomat.html

After 15 years in the British diplomatic corps, Carne Ross became a "freelance diplomat," running a bold nonprofit that gives small, developing and yet-unrecognized nations a voice in international relations. At the BIF-5 conference, he calls for a new kind of diplomacy that gives voice to small countries, that works with changing boundaries and that welcomes innovation.

This is a key speech and very important in terms of understanding diplomacy.
