Global affairs analysis, story and reflection worth your attention

Foreign, security and defence issues dictate everything: peace, democratic norms, who has rights and who doesn't.

We are home to long-form, solutions-centred narrative features, analyses and interviews for people who want to understand these issues properly, not just follow the news. We work with practitioners with firsthand knowledge, differentiated thinking and a point of view worth listening to.

Editorial output

We produce and publish multimedia content, namely essays and interviews at the intersection of foreign, security and defence issues.

We collaborate with practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds, who have something specific to say and the experience to say it. Think of it as mini masterclasses on global affairs.

We work across recurring lenses within the foreign, security and defence policy umbrella:

Democracy ✦ Human Rights ✦ Gender ✦ Multilateralism ✦ Politics ✦ Technology…

Global affairs has always had better storytellers than stories. We fix that, one conversation at a time.

Interviews are one of our main editorial pillars. Each one goes deep on a single, often overlooked question in foreign affairs, security and defence, leaving the news analysis to the newsrooms.

What we're after is what the people working on these issues actually think, feel and carry with them.

You can read our interviews or listen to the podcast.

  • Commission a story

    We work with organisations and individuals who need policy, research and ideas turned into editorial content for general public reach.

    Our media contributions entail features and interviews that amplify expert and community voices, bring evidence-based content to broader audiences, and show how it all connects to world events.

    We take a thematic, solutions-focused approach and all editorial decisions are our own. If your global affairs work has a story worth telling beyond its ecosystem, we know how to tell it.
