Diplomacy has always belonged to everyone. It just hasn't always been written that way.
We are a media platform and academy redefining narratives on foreign, security and defence policy issues. We believe that everyone has a stake, so we work with organisations, academia, governments and anyone who sees themselves as diplomats at heart.

About
Most foreign affairs coverage is written about states, for states, and focuses almost exclusively on the people and institutions that already hold power.
The Cabinet starts somewhere else. Europe is rearming, democracies are under pressure, and the logic of security will change public budgets, civil-military relations and the terms on which democratic societies understand themselves. This has consequences for equality, civil liberties, liberalism and the social contract, that rarely make it into the rooms where decisions are made, or the media that covers them.
Diplomacy and global policy are the mechanisms behind all of this: they set the terms and determine who pays the price and who gets a say. Other actors must have a stake and a say in redefining foreign, security and defence, particularly through lived experience. The Cabinet exists to make sense of those consequences and to redefine the narrative. We believe diplomacy has always belonged to everyone, and so does understanding and communicating what it costs.
With a 68% open rate, the newsletter lands fortnightly in the inboxes of diplomats, analysts, journalists, students and all sorts of practitioners across the global affairs ecosystem.
