Baroness Falkner also worked for the Commonwealth Secretariat, where she continued to work on globalisation, democracy and development. Most recently, Baroness Falkner was Chief Executive of a charity working with young people in some of the poorest parts of Africa and Asia and is currently teaching a seminar on "US and UK Foreign Policy after Iraq" at Harvard, John F.
