The CIGI public lecture series is back in full force now that it's fall.

I'm checking out this one tomorrow at 7pm...

"Guerrilla Diplomacy: Rethinking International Relations"

with Daryl Copeland

Here's the description:

Mr. Copeland will argue that if development has become the new security in the age of globalization, then diplomacy must displace defence at the centre of international policy. Diplomacy, however, is chronically under-resourced and has been marginalized, largely as a result of its inability to adapt to the challenges of the 21st century, many of which are rooted in science and driven by technology. Along with the other components of the diplomatic ecosystem, the foreign ministry and foreign service, diplomacy, if it is to regain its relevance and effectiveness, must be reformed from the ground up.

Pretty sure you can still register if you're interested in attending... it's Free.
