Carne Ross: A Voice for Diplomatic Change and Social Justice

This site offers news about my writing and media appearances on world affairs and my deepening interest in alternate systems of organising our affairs, in particular anarchism.  My book, “The Leaderless Revolution: how ordinary people will take power and change politics in the 21st century” (Penguin Books) goes into these ideas in more detail.  My first TED talk provides a bit more about my story.  And this recent TEDx talk is more about why I believe in anarchism  There’s a documentary feature film about me and my ideas called, “Accidental Anarchist”.  You can see a trailer for the movie here and more information on the film Facebook page.

My experience from inside government dealing with some of the most difficult of contemporary challenges – climate, terrorism, Iraq, Afghanistan – has convinced me that government, as currently constituted, is a poor and failing mechanism to deal with the world’s problems.  We need to look for alternatives, not least action by us, ourselves.
