About
Most foreign affairs coverage is written for institutions, by institutions. It speaks in jargon and leaves out the people it's supposed to serve.
TDC starts from a different premise: that “soft” issues, including gender equity, human security, social geopolitics, culture, democratic resilience and positive peace, are load-bearing forces in international relations, not footnotes to hard power. Foreign affairs policy has for too long been narrated by the same voices, from the same rooms, for the same audiences.
We're here to change that.
With a ≈68% open rate, the TDC newsletter lands fortnightly in the inboxes of diplomats, analysts, journalists and practitioners across the foreign affairs ecosystem.
