Welcome to Ambassador at Large

Diplomacy is a skill. Let me show you how it works.

I’m Antony Stokes. I have served in four senior ambassadorial roles and in postings across four continents.

I spent decades inside the rooms where decisions get made: negotiating with governments, navigating international organisations, and watching how power, persuasion and protocol actually operate.

Ambassador at Large is here to make that knowledge accessible to you.

What you get as a subscriber:

The Gazette: a weekly briefing on international affairs, diplomacy and global careers, written from the inside. Not commentary. Analysis, from someone who was there.

Looking for expert support?

I work with a select number of senior individuals on leadership, negotiation, diplomacy practice and career strategy. Sessions are by application.

Who reads this:

Senior professionals working internationally and inter-culturally. Diplomats, UN and EU officials, journalists, academics and business leaders working in international affairs. And people who simply want to understand how the world actually works.
