Jan Eliasson | Understanding Our New World

Jan Eliasson, a former Swedish and United Nations diplomat, joined the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University on Tuesday, November 12 for a virtual discussion about the complex challenges and important opportunities facing global leaders. Eliasson and Institute director John Shaw's discussion centered on how skilled diplomacy can help tackle vexing problems such as climate change, the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, UN reform, and the global refugee crisis. They also discussed the international implications of the incoming Trump administration with its “America First” orientation. Eliasson is the subject of Shaw’s recently published book, The Education of a Statesman: How Global Leaders Can Repair a Fractured World (Rowman & Littlefield, 2024). Eliasson served as Sweden’s ambassador to the United Nations, ambassador to the United States, and foreign minister. He also held high level UN posts including president of the General Assembly, special envoy to Darfur, under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, and deputy secretary-general.
