He had only just graduated from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service that year — 1. United Nations operation in Somalia. On that particular night, some of the members of New Zealand’s contingent had hosted a dinner. People were dancing and trying to have a fun Saturday night,” he recalls. But the revelry didn’t hold his interest, so he decided instead to walk back to his tent on the Mogadishu airstrip.
That’s when the artillery shell landed: 3. I heard the whistling sound and then a thump,” he says.
I turned to my friend, and we yelled in surprise, and then jumped behind a Jeep.“We stayed there for two or three minutes, got up and realized that the bomb was not going off. We ran back into the party to tell the soldiers that there was unexploded ordinance outside and so they went and their did bomb- disposal work.”Rowswell’s heart was racing, and he was visibly shaken — so much so that a heavily tattooed, tough- as- nails U. S. marine came over to hug him and comfort. As frightening as it was, that was the day, Rowswell says, that his professional priorities snapped into place.“It was really at that moment that I realized this topic I’d been studying in university and I’d been interested in for so many years — world politics — was real, and was about life and death,” he says.“International relations is about life and death. Ever since then, I’ve found it hard to devote any professional time to issues that aren’t about life and death.”In the years since his summer in Somalia, Rowswell, who grew up in Ottawa, has spent his diplomatic career in some of the world’s most dangerous settings: There was Baghdad following the 2. U. S. invasion of Iraq; Kabul and Kandahar in Afghanistan from 2. Venezuela. Rowswell, now 4.
Canada’s ambassador to that now- crisis- ridden South American country until late last month and has since returned to Canada. Along the way he’s seen the strengths and limits of state power, the devastating cost of putting staff into harm’s way, and he’s become a believer in a new, still- emerging force for the advancement of human rights and democracy: technology. As he leaves Venezuela, Rowswell has taken a three- year unpaid leave from Global Affairs Canada, and has relocated himself and his three young children to Toronto, where he is launching a tech startup called Perennial Software. It has begun making available an app called Udara which, if it meets the expectations of Rowswell and his co- founder, Farhaan Ladhani, will “mobilize thousands and thousands, hundreds of thousands of people eventually, to take action directly in global affairs, whether its defending human rights or opposing corruption or protecting the environment.”In Rowswell’s words, he’s dedicating himself “to exploring and adapting technology for making the world a better place.”•A passion for the world beyond staid central Canada runs generations deep in Rowswell’s family. Growing up in the 1. Watch Dystopia: 2013 Download. Danmachi Abridged Episode 4'>Danmachi Abridged Episode 4. Meadowlands Drive townhouse in what was then Nepean, Rowswell heard stories of his paternal grandfather and grandmother who, in the mid- 1.
China. Arthur and Katie Rowswell ran a hospital in Kaifeng during the Chinese civil war until political strife overtook the city, forcing them to flee and return to Toronto. On his mother’s side, relatives in the 1. Canadian North.“There was always the knowledge in the family that previous generations had kind of struck out and gone to some of the most unfamiliar corners of the earth,” Rowswell says. And then, when Rowswell’s mother, Mary Marsh, married again, her second husband played a pivotal role in fostering her son’s international aspirations.
From the early 1. Rowswell’s step- father was Bill Mc. Whinney, the first full- time executive director of Canadian University Service Overseas, and later a senior vice- president of the Canadian International Development Agency, who had lived in what was then Ceylon and travelled to 1. Mc. Whinney’s worldliness and wanderlust rubbed off not only on Ben but also on his older brother, Mark, who studied Chinese language and literature at universities in Toronto and then Beijing, and by 1.

It was at that point that I had that first inkling that I wanted to spend my life learning other languages and being immersed in other cultures and learning about other countries’ politics,” Rowswell says. He found it fascinating that his Spanish host family thought favourably of their country’s late dictator, Francisco Franco. That, somehow, piqued my interest in how people can see world in different ways and try to understand the different perspectives they have.”Graduating from Nepean, Rowswell knew that he wanted to study international relations in university. Although he had applied to some Canadian universities, he was educated in Washington, D. C., where he attended Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service from 1. Canadians enrolled there.
Most couldn’t afford it,” Rowswell says. But at that point, Mc. Whinney was executive director for Canada at the Inter- American Development Bank headquartered in Washington and the IDB paid for Rowswell’s schooling. He was at the training school for diplomats, the alma mater of Bill Clinton, during the end of the Cold War and the beginning of what was then called the New World Order, with foreign politicians regularly visiting the campus. It was a pretty extraordinary introduction to the practice of international relations,” Rowswell says.
The school would make its imprint on his approach to diplomacy.“Obviously, I’m a member of the Canadian foreign service so, as a practitioner, I have this Canadian emphasis on norms and what the world should be like,” Rowswell says.“But having studied in the United States, I’m also quite impatient. Americans, because they have so much power, they’re focused as much on the achievement of results, and not just on what the results should look like eventually. So I think I’ve had a pragmatic bent in the practice of diplomacy that sometimes leads me to be a bit impatient with lack of results.
When we confront major global issues, to me it’s never quite enough to say the world should be different, or this is what things should look like. I’m a lot more anxious to actually get to the solutions, to how we can use whatever instruments we have at our disposal right now.”After graduating from Georgetown, Rowswell took the summer job where he was nearly blown up. And, when that job end, he joined what was then External Affairs Canada. Mc. Whinney, he says, encouraged him to take that tack. I’d say without him, I probably would have stayed in Somalia, doing the UN peacekeeping thing, because that was my passion,” Rowswell says.“He was a very practical guy, and his view was I needed to have a career, a permanent job with an institutional home, and a pension and a benefits package and all that.” Nonetheless, Rowswell did what he could to steer his work in the foreign service toward combat- zone postings.“I chose to learn Arabic, because the Middle East was the part of the world where the conflicts were most frequent and most intense,” he says.
