Global Brief - the magazine

Global Brief is a new forum for the examination of world affairs from a Canadian perspective. On-line, and in a quarterly print edition, it's an initiative of the Glendon School of Public and International Affairs, my alma mater's recently established post-graduate division. Glendon founding principal, Escott Reid, or my Canadian public policy prof, John Holmes, would no doubt enthusiastically endorse the journal and the website, had they been able to imagine such a thing back in the 1970s when they were my mentors.

Global Brief: "The Magazine
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 an online platform and a print world affairs magazine. 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."
