Welcome to the autumn edition of The World Today. First, I want to thank you for your patience while we paused publication of Chatham House’s member magazine. In those months, new editor Mike Higgins and his team have been busy conducting a reader survey and updating the magazine.
What’s new? First, The World Today will now be published quarterly – expect subsequent editions in December, March and June. Its print edition has a refreshed, elegant design and more pages (to receive the print magazine, with exclusive print-only content, become a Chatham House member or take advantage of a limited special offer to subscribe). In it and here online, you’ll notice clearer information about related Chatham House events, articles, research publications and podcasts. Otherwise, the magazine is much as you remember it – authorities and experts from Chatham House and beyond setting the agenda on the big international affairs questions of our time.
To mention just a few of the highlights in this autumn edition: Michael Cox assesses what a second presidential term for Donald Trump might mean for the world (disruption, in a word); Richard Haass welcomes the impact Kamala Harris has had on the race for the White House and warns against a more inward-looking America; as Britain looks to reset its foreign policy, Samir Puri urges the new government to repair relations in the Global South with historical sensitivity and diplomatic generosity; Helen Fitzwilliam details which European countries are thwarting Russia’s spies (and which seem reticent); Anne Applebaum highlights how the world’s autocrats are better organized than ever – and what can be done to stop them. All this and more.
We hope the refreshed magazine has been worth the wait – please let us know what you think by writing to [email protected].
