Gareth Evans will forever be known as the godfather of the doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect. The former foreign minister of Australia was also a pioneer in the practice of middle power "niche diplomacy," and in this episode of the Global Dispatches Podcast Gareth Evans traces his personal and intellectual journey from a working class family in Australia to becoming one of his generation's greatest intellectuals and statesmen.
