Monthly Commentaries by Chris Patten

Chris Patten is a former EU Commissioner for External Relations, Chairman of the British Conservative Party, and was the last British Governor of Hong Kong. He is currently Chancellor of Oxford University and a member of the British House of Lords.

Should governments really never negotiate with terrorists? When and how should we recognize new nations? Do East and West confront an unbridgeable cultural divide or simply a developmental time lag?

Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong, a former EU Commissioner for External Relations, British Cabinet minister, and chairman of the Conservative Party, has built his career around addressing such challenges. Currently Chancellor of the University of Oxford, he is also co-chair of the International Crisis Group, overseeing many international operations.
