Welcome to the one year anniversary edition of Global Politics Magazine, a publication run for, and by, the next generation of global policymakers.

If you want to know how the magazine was created, and where it is going next, all is revealed in The Insider section.

Issue five introduces Bloggers' Corner. Yes, you've guessed it, here you'll find some lighter (and briefer) reflections on the world of politics. You are invited to add your thoughts to the mix - drop us an email if you'd like to become a Global Politics blogger.

Meanwhile, work continues on the Emerging Economies project. We are looking more contributions - Click for more information.
