The Global Cable
08/23/20 • 29 min
The new semester might be getting started, but the weather still feels like summer here in Philadelphia, and we hope you find time to enjoy a few more books on your summer reading list before the fall truly sets in. Our latest guest on our Summer Reading List podcast is Ambassador Capricia Marshall, who served as Chief of Protocol of the United States from 2009 to 2013, overseeing the details of democracy during countless state visits and global summits. Her new book is titled Protocol: The Power of Diplomacy and How to Make It Work For You.
In our conversation, Marshall explains what protocol is, and why people often best understand its importance only when it goes wrong; whether shifts in the international order are affecting protocol practices; and how COVID-19 has changed her rules for good protocol.
The Summer Reading List is a special edition of our podcast, The Global Cable. Throughout the summer, we're releasing new conversations with authors, discussing their latest books and the inspiration behind them.

On this episode of The Global Cable, Perry World House Inaugural Director William Burke-White is joined by Perry World House Distinguished Scholar, Former Assistant Secretary-General and special adviser to United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan & Columbia University Law Professor Michael Doyle to discuss the Model International Mobility Convention, which aims to create a model set of rules and standards for mobility, considered as a whole.
Michael Doyle specializes in international relations theory, international security, and international organizations. Doyle previously served as assistant secretary-general and special adviser to United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan from 2001 to 2003.
