Former British diplomat, Founder of Independent Diplomat, and author of The Leaderless Revolution Carne Ross introduces us to an anarchist's vision of economic wellbeing.About Carne RossCarne Ross is a former British diplomat, and Middle East and WMD expert, who resigned in 2004 after giving then-secret evidence to a British inquiry into the Iraq war. After Ross quit, he founded the world's first non-profit diplomatic advisory group, Independent Diplomat, which advises democratic countries and political movements around the world.

In this essay, Carne explores the spiritual dimension of anarchism, which he once assumed was more a ‘political' philosophy about how people make decisions and transact business. He concludes that there is indeed a vital spiritual element and moreover that anarchism centres love and human connection at its core. Carne Ross is a writer. His most recent book is ‘The Leaderless Revolution: how ordinary people will take power and change politics in the 21st century'. His articles, films and other writing can be found at carneross.com.

‘The idea of state interests is a manufactured discourse where officials and diplomats make up what they think their countries' interests are usually without reference to the people concerned.' In this episode, Manas Chawla interviews Founder of Independent Diplomat, Carne Ross, about the losers of the state-based international system and the need for multiple diplomatic mechanisms, at both the international and domestic level, in times of a crisis, such as during the one currently playing out in Ukraine. Carne founded Independent Diplomat, a non-profit venture, which advises governments, political groups, international institutions, and NGOs about diplomatic conduct and strategy. Prior to this, he worked as a diplomat for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for fifteen years, before he resigned over the Iraq War. He is also the subject of the documentary Accidental Anarchist and author of the book The Leaderless Revolution: How Ordinary People Will Take Power and Change Politics in the 21st Century. Drawing upon his time on the front lines of diplomacy and his experience of giving diplomatic voices to state and non-state actors, Carne offers a unique insight into the workings of the international system and the decisions of those who define it.

Carne Ross is a former British diplomat and author of “The Leaderless Revolution: How ordinary people will take power and change politics in the 21st century.” Tonight he joins the show to talk about his journey to becoming an advocate for anarchy, and his work with the international nonprofit, Independent Diplomat.

“Due to COVID 19 people have been questioning their basic contract. Is this government protecting me, and are these politicians doing what they claim to do, which is to look after us and to protect our health?”  Once a British diplomat and now self proclaimed 'gentle anarchist', Carne Ross describes how solving today's problems starts with shedding our assumptions about what works and what is possible. Drawing inspiration from diverse movements and places - the ancient Greeks, the philosophy of anarchy, and a Brazilian city - Ross reveals practical steps for re-imagining democracies so that they are capable of tackling the biggest challenges of our times. ----------------------Produced by the Green Economy Coalition, the world's largest movement for a green and fair economy: https://greeneconomycoalition.orgCarne Ross on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/carnerossCarne's website: http://www.carneross.comIndependent Diplomat: https://independentdiplomat.org-----------------------Learn more about Power, People & Planet by visiting:https://powerpeopleplanet.org

Entinen Britannian ulkoministeriön huippudiplomaatti Carne Ross ajaa yllättäviä lääkkeitä eurooppalaisen demokratian ongelmiin. Hän jätti nousujohteisen kansainvälisen uransa ja ryhtyi ajamaan päätoimisesti anarkian asiaa. - Anarkiaa ei kannata pelätä, koska me elämme jo nyt keskellä sekasortoa. Kapitalismi tuottaa kiihtyvää kaaosta talousjärjestelmässä ja luonnossa, sanoo kirjailija ja suosittu asiantuntijakokousten puhuja Carne Ross. Diplomaatin urasta ikänsä haaveilleella Rossilla oli jo nuorena miehenä unelmatyö Britannian YK-edustustustossa New Yorkissa. Hänen maailmankuvansa kuitenkin järkkyi Irakin sodan syttyessä vuonna 2003. Ross näki aitiopaikalta kuinka faktatiedot Irakin väitetyistä joukkotuhoaseista ohitettiin sotarumpujen kumistessa ja Irakiin hyökättiin väärin perustein. -Koko diplomaattinen järjestelmä on irrallaan todellisuudesta. Edustuksellinen demokratia ei ole toimiva malli. Ihmiset joihin tehdyt päätökset vaikuttavat eivät ole mukana neuvotteluissa, sanoo Carne Ross. -Ajatus siitä että ryhmä byrokraatteja keskushallinossa osaa järjestää asiat parhaiten ei ole uskottava. Keskitetty hallinto on tehoton. Entinen Brittihallituksen huippuvirkamies on perustanut Riippumaton diplomaatti-nimisen järjestön. Se auttaa muun muassa pienten maiden demokraattisia hallituksia, joilla ei muutoin ole resursseja osallistua kansainväliseen päätöksentekoon. - Polttavimpien yhteiskunnallisten ongelmien ja kriisien syynä on se, että ihmiset ovat kadottaneet tunteen vaikutusvallasta omaan elämäänsä. Juuri tämä on polttoainetta Euroopassa ja Yhdysvalloissa nousseelle populismille, analysoi Carne Ross. Ohjelman on Lontoossa toimittanut Pasi Myöhänen.

Topics discussed in this podcast include the changing nature – and potential disintegration - of states, the Middle East conflict, and the failings and future of diplomacy 

Carne Ross gives us some insight into the referendum in Catalonia to secede from Spain, and what an event like this means for the future of the nation state in the 21st century.

Carne Ross is a former British diplomat, Middle East and WMD expert, who resigned in 2004 after giving what was then secret information to a British inquiry into the Iraq War. Carne became acutely aware that the information being presented to the public leading up to the Iraq War was misleading and false. After he left his position as a diplomat, he founded the world's first non-profit diplomatic advisory group, Independent Diplomat, which advises democratic countries and movements around the world. This year, Carne was featured in the documentary Accidental Anarchist, a film that follows Carne's path from British diplomat to an advocate for Anarchism. This film follows Carne's journey to find and eventually witness anarchist principles in action during the Occupy movement, the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930's in Catalonia, as well as contemporarily by the Kurds in Rojava. Rojava is a region in northern Syria, that during the chaotic Syrian civil war was able and continues to practice anarchism effectively while simultaneously fighting off the Islamic State as well as maintain autonomy in that region. In this conversation, Carne and I briefly discuss his path toward Anarchism, the complexity of the Syrian Civil War and the ethics surrounding intervention in that conflict, as well as the recent referendum in Catalonia to secede from Spain and become an independently governed nation, and what this means for the future of the nation state in the 21st century.

Carne Ross is a Skoll Awardee and TED speaker. He's a principled man, having walked away from his diplomatic career in the British Government in protest over the Iraq war. The non-profit he founded, called Independent Diplomat, is geared towards tackling the imbalance between the diplomatic processes and those affected by the decisions made in diplomatic processes.    In this episode, Carne talks us through nine principles for action that changemakers can use to create their own political strategy.

In Episode 10 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas speaks with Carne Ross. Carne is the founder of Independent Diplomat, which advises dozens of democratic countries and political groups on using diplomacy to achieve their foreign policy goals. In his former capacity as a British diplomat, Carne worked on the Middle East, the global environment, weapons of mass destruction and terrorism. He served in British embassies within Germany, Norway, Kosovo, Afghanistan and the UK Mission to the United Nations in New York, where he was Britain’s Middle East expert. Carne was also chief speechwriter to the British foreign secretary. Carne Ross resigned from the UK Foreign Service in 2004, after testifying and giving secret evidence to the UK’s first official inquiry into the Iraq war. Author of two books on world political affairs, Carne is a frequent commentator on international affairs on the BBC, NPR, CNN, Al Jazeera and elsewhere. Carne has also written for the New York Times, the Financial Times, The Nation and many other publications. Carne helps us explore the world of modern diplomacy, from the end of the Cold War and the dismemberment of the Soviet Union, through the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, all the way to the Syrian Civil War and the rise of ISIS. We consider the limits of modern diplomacy and how national politics constrain our capacity for addressing global problems. We address the legitimacy of the state and question our relationship to authority. How much are politicians, technocrats, and global elites responsible for the populism and outrage on display in the Western world? Is there a better way forward, and what can history and technology, teach us about the possibilities for new forms of self-governance and organization in the 21st century?

The adoption of the Paris climate agreement in December 2015 sent a powerful signal about the global consensus over the urgent need to address climate change. Although the agreement was more ambitious than expected, it is still not enough. Now the world must continue to embrace the spirit of Paris and race towards not only implementation of the agreement, but also increasingly bold ideas for the future. One country whose very existence depends on this is the low-lying Marshall Islands, a tiny atoll nation located in the middle of the Pacific. The Marshall Islands spearheaded the 'High Ambition Coalition' of countries that has been credited with securing the most ambitious elements of the Paris agreement. Former British diplomat Carne Ross is the Founder and Executive Director of Independent Diplomat - the world's first non-profit diplomatic advisory group - which has worked closely with the Republic of the Marshall Islands in the years leading up to Paris and now on its role with the High Ambition Coalition. Independent Diplomat helps to level the diplomatic playing field between the world's richest countries, which are often the most egregious polluters, and states like the Marshall Islands, which are both the world's most vulnerable states to the devastating effects of climate change and among the least likely to be heard at international negotiations. How did a country of only 60,000 people become one of the most influential states at the UN climate talks? What's next for climate diplomacy and the High Ambition Coalition? What lessons can the success of the Paris Agreement teach us about global diplomacy more broadly? How can private and non-profit organizations like Independent Diplomat influence international relations, peace and world security? Join World Affairs and Carne Ross for a conversation that will answer these and other pressing questions about the global solutions to climate change. Speaker Carne Ross is Executive Director of Independent Diplomat. Aimee Barnes, Partner, Allotrope Partners, moderates the conversation.
