From 2009 to 2014, Baroness Catherine Ashton was the EU’s first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. She faced the challenge of representing the views and values of 28 nations during one of the most turbulent periods in living memory. From Russia’s invasion of Crimea to the Iran nuclear negotiations, she faced the challenge of solving immediate problems while constantly asking ‘and then what’ and keeping long-term solution building at the heart of these conversations. Here with the British diplomat Sir Robert Cooper, Catherine takes us inside the world of modern diplomacy, sharing the realities of long negotiations, hard-won triumphs, and conversations with far-reaching impact. While reflecting on the broader work and operations of the EU and Britain’s historic role in that, Catherine will also offer crucial insight into the political situation across Europe today.#RSAdiplomacy Become an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/udI9xDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficialJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join
