Carr Center Fellow Gerard Russell presents "Challenges and Opportunities of Public Diplomacy in the Middle East and Afghanistan."
Gerard Russell was tasked by Tony Blair in October 2001 to set up and run a British effort to engage Muslim opinion worldwide. He subsequently worked within the Iraqi government in late 2005, providing advice to its elected Prime Minister on public diplomacy. He was head of the UK political team in Afghanistan in 2007-8. His talk will draw on those experiences, as well as his research at the Carr center, to explore these questions and highlight potential ways forward.
