Richard Cockett Email & Phone Number | I am a journalist, writer and academic. I am currently a Senior Editor at The Economist, and also a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, where I was a fellow in 2020/2021. I have just published a book about the impact of Vienna on the world, the culmination of decades of work on the subject. It is available here, https://yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300266535/vienna/, or here, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vienna-Ideas-Created-Modern-World. I also volunteer my time to several human- and civil-rights NGOs, including Waging Peace (focused on Sudan and helping refugees), Justice for Rohingya Minority (campaigning for the Burmese generals who committed genocide to be brought to justice) and the British Foreign Policy Group. See below for how you can help these causes as well. I have had thirty years' worth of experience teaching at some of Britain's top universities and writing for several of the best newspapers and magazines. At The Economist I have enjoyed a succession of jobs: Digital news editor, 2019-20, Britain Business Editor, 2015-19, and South-East Asia correspondent from 2010-2014. Before that I was the paper's Africa editor (2005-2010), and reported from Mexico and Latin America from 2001 to 2005. My last book was about the tragedy of Burma, published in 2015. To give a flavour of what that book was about, this is a long article I did for the paper in August 2014, "The Plural Society and its Enemies", see http://www.economist.com/news/asia/21610285-our-departing-south-east-asia-correspondent-explains-how-plural-society-remains-key And this is my latest long article for The Economist, on how we still lamentably fail to stop genocides around the world, 70 years after the passage of the UN's convention to prevent and punish genocide.
