International Relations & Diplomacy
Philosophy and the Future
International Relations is the co-creation of binding a policy and a unifying culture that powers co-existance between Nations. Diplomacy is the engine that runs it and connects all the moving parts. Events on the global stage recently suggests that international relations is not and can no longer be static. the world order is constantly being redefined. Regional interest are now propagated at behaste of the powers that be, eg the first world.
Of bigger concernis the distance or gap between theory (What is taught in the higher institution of learning) and practice (The day today eventsshaped by other considerationsother than diplomacy or lack of.) The need for institutions of learning to re-engineer international relationsto alighn with the current realities is patinent for success today and in the future. this evolution is not expected to settle anytime soon as VUCA and BANII continues to play out. Issues for which scholars and technocrats should be cognizant.
Welcome to the new world of “DEALING.” A way with “IDEOLOGY.”
Dr. Julian Rowa Inc. foresees a new world order that is strategic, tactical and transactional in international relations and diplomacy. The right classifications and definition will trigger the right actions and IR governing policies. The alternative is a state of chaos. Data and evidence has never been so important.

I have reviewed the training materials and the manual on Leadership and Management which is excellent and due to the high quality of work we have received, intend on collaborating on other projects in the future.

It’s rare that you get an opportunity to meet & remember unsung at times unknown great leaders/colleagues you encountered on your journey that taught you what you know. My list of greats is endless from Hilangwa Maimbo, Dr. James Mwangi, Catherine Muraga, Joanna Bichsel, Michael Fortin and others. You sir Dr. Julian Rowa are amongst the greats!
An incredible speaker. He took us through the journey of Socio-Emotional Skills Development, with emphasis and insights that stood out on the journey of growing, optimizing, declining, and reinventing oneself as a professional and a trainer which deeply resonated with me.
An exceptional facilitator and moderator with a strong ability to translate strategy into clear, actionable simple to use outcomes. He skillfully guides conversations from concept to practical execution, aligning diverse perspectives while maintaining focus on purpose and results. Great at concept actualization.
“Catching up with Dr Rowa is like strapping into a rocket—no warm-up, immediate liftoff. One minute it’s "Hey," the next we’re debating the future of storytelling and questioning the universe over coffee. And “by the way, if in Migori, swing by Kar-Kweh sanctuary and let the art stir your thoughts.” Kar kweh is where you retreat to reset.
