Global Brief

World Affairs in the 21st Century

GLOBAL BRIEF is Canada’s confident, 21st century answer to The Economist, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Le Monde Diplomatique and a host of other world-class international affairs media platforms. GLOBAL BRIEF is at once a top-tier print magazine and a highly subscribed, hyper-multilingual website. Publishing out of the Glendon School of Public and International Affairs at Toronto’s York University, GLOBAL BRIEF targets a global readership with the works of top and up-and-coming global writers dealing with world affairs writ large – international politics, business, culture, movements and trends. It has no moral mandate. It is not Anglospheric. It is not sensationalist. Nor is it fatalistic. Rather, it seeks to analyze and explain the world in all its bald complexities, to anticipate different ‘strategic futures,’ and to reflect – with policy relevance and nuance – on ways to address these complexities.

The cutting-edge, critically acclaimed, bilingual (English and French) print version of Global Brief publishes 4 times per year. Each issue consists of a wide and original array of first-class, short essays (Features); synoptic briefings (One Pager); follow-up analyses or enquiries (Query); in-theatre reports (In Situ); point-counterpoint, head-to-head debates (Nez à Nez), kinetic interviews (Tête à Tête); surveys of top global thinkers on key questions (The Definition) and on the world to come (Strategic Futures); and, finally, levity through mock dialogues of a given government’s Cabinet Room, as well as a reflective Epigram.
