Lessons from the Edge: A Conversation with Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch
Ambassador Yovanovitch spent much of her career working to advance democracy in the post-Soviet world. In this dialogue, she discussed current challenges to global democracy, her career as a diplomat, and how she remained committed to democratic values, even while caught in the midst of the first impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump.
Facilitated by Stacie Goddard, the Paula Phillips Bernstein ’58 Faculty Director of the Madeleine Korbel Albright Institute for Global Affairs.
This event was part of the Albright Institute’s programming for this year, “The Diplomat’s Toolbox: Making the World Safe for Democracy.” In honor of Secretary Albright’s legacy, the Albright Institute seeks to recognize her unwavering commitment to advancing democracy across the globe and reflect on the ways she worked toward that goal using her own diplomatic tools—her relationships, her empathy, and her principles.
