Event Description : "The Contemporary Embassy – Paths to Diplomatic Excellence" Book discussion.
Embassies are at the cutting edge of the international system, agencies of the home system that transact with foreign countries. Past few years have witnessed evolution of purpose of diplomacy as set out in the Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations 1961, as a consequence of which the role of embassies has been extended to being that of a promoter, negotiator, communicator, manager, synthesiser, and service provider across the entire gamut of external affairs. This proactive and intensive involvement has lead to perceive embassies as the “CEO’s of multiagency missions reaching out to the entire society and not just the government”. In that context, Ambassador Kishan S. Rana raises the question whether embassies are likely to undergo evolutionary changes adapting to requirements of efficiency and tighter accountability in his book “The Contemporary Embassy – Paths to Diplomatic Excellence”. The book discussion session will have experts on diplomacy reflecting over the main argument of the book on the departure from formulistic rituals of diplomacy and on ways embassies could do better.
Speaker :
Ambassador Kishan S. Rana, Former Indian Ambassador to Germany
Dr. C. Raja Mohan, Distinguished Fellow, Observer Research Foundation (ORF)
Chair : Ambassador Eric Gonsalves, Former Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs and Ambassador to Belgium and to EEC and Luxembourg
