Sir Peter Westmacott joined the UK Diplomatic Service in 1972. Following a year in the Middle-East Department, he was posted in Iran, then loaned to the European Commission in Brussels and assigned to Paris. He was Chief of Staff to successive Ministers of State in London, then posted in Turkey. After a few years as Deputy Private Secretary to The Prince of Wales, he went to Washington as Counsellor for Political and Public Affairs, then joined the board of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office before returning to Turkey as Ambassador. |

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
