Episode 65: Jean-Marie Guehenno
\xa0Jean-Marie Gu\xe9henno is the president of the International Crisis Group and long serving head of UN Peacekeeping. He comes from an interesting background--his father was a well known French intellectual whose experience in World War I made him a pacifist. In this episode, Gu\xe9henno discusses his experiences as the top French foreign policy planning official during the fall of the Berlin Wall; what it was like have Kofi Annan interview you for a job; and the future challenges facing international peacekeeping.\xa0
Gu\xe9henno is out with a new book that details these experiences and more. The Fog of Peace: A Memoir of International Peacekeeping in the 21st century was published this month by Brookings Press. Gu\xe9henno is a true scholar practitioner. \xa0This is a great episode. \xa0
