Ep. 130 Is International Diplomacy Dead? With Stephanie Williams

In this episode Stephanie and Jason discuss the complexities of state building, the disordering influence of Russia on the operations of the UN, the impact of US foreign policy on Libya, and why incoherence and coordination complexities within the West makes it nearly impossible to do diplomacy anymore.

Stephanie Williams is a former United Nations mediator and a senior American diplomat. Stephanie served as the Special Adviser to the Secretary General on Libya, as well as acting UN SRSG/Special Envoy to Libya. She is the author of an excellent and highly detailed new book on international diplomacy, Libya Since Qaddafi: Chaos and the Search for Peace.
