Diplomatic Bag by John Ure
Sir John Ure's collection provides an account of diplomatic life as seen by the diplomats themselves. Included are coups and disasters, gaffes of protocol and great moments of history - as seen through the eyes of those who have been in the right place at the right time. Ranging from the age of Ivan the terrible to that of Saddam Hussein, we meet amongst others Connolly and Stoddart in their dungeon in Bokhura, Dr Kissinger palying ping-pong diplomacy with Chou En-lai and the valet of the British Ambassador in Ankra offering the germans the advance plans of the D-Day landings.
John Ure is Associate Professor and Director of the Telecommunications Research Project (TRP) which he founded in 1993 at the University of Hong Kong. He now lives and works in Singapore as director of the TRPC, the consulting and services arm of TRP. He holds bachelor, master and doctoral degrees in economics from Hull University, Birkbeck College, University of London and the Polytechnic of East London/CNAA. He has published and consulted extensively in areas of telecoms economics, policy and regulatory issues. His advocacy of a 3G royalty-based auction became Hong Kong policy in 2001. His consultancy work includes major country studies, thematic studies (such as universal service, interconnection and spectrum management), and feasibility studies for international bodies (for example, the World Bank, the ITU, various UN agencies, the European Commission, and regulators and consumer groups in the Asia Pacific, central and north Asia, and north Africa), as well as for the private sector. The authors of Part One are all internationally known academics and leading professionals in their field. Part Two is written by the Telecommunications Research Project team of the University of Hong Kong.
