Resilience and risk in the US foreign service

A new report from the American Academy of Diplomacy examines the State Department’s approach to diplomatic security, and calls from current and former foreign service, USAID, and military personnel to accept more risk in order to better balance staff protection with the essential need for on-the-scene diplomacy. On February 19, Brookings and the American Academy of Diplomacy reviewed the report’s findings and recommendations, particularly that of new legislation governing the Accountability Review Board, and assessed how to shape a more resilient and flexible foreign service. https://www.brookings.edu/events/resilience-and-risk-in-the-us-foreign-service/ Subscribe to Brookings Events on iTunes, send feedback email to [email protected], and follow us and tweet us at @policypodcasts on Twitter.
