Global Politics Magazine is not a magazine in the conventional sense, designed to be read passively. It is a dynamic project, and all readers are encouraged to become involved.

Writing for the magazine

Global Politics Magazine provides a space for writers to make a full contribution to political debate. Many forums and comment pages allow readers to express opinions, but few give the opportunity to put across a complete argument in the form of a published article. Although hosted in the UK, the magazine is available to readers around the globe.

I want to write for Global Politics Magazine - what next?

We welcome all articles relating to contemporary international affairs, but we particularly encourage those which seek to highlight and introduce new ideas and fresh thinking in political debate. Please read the Magazine's statement of purpose for further guidance.

If you would like to contribute, please check the editorial policy and our style guide and email a brief outline of the proposed article to us at

globalpolitics@global-politics.co.uk

Don't worry about anything too in-depth. We will provide further guidance on the requirements and discuss any queries regarding the subject.

Please note that we may not publish an article if it lacks a clear argument or is otherwise felt to be of a poor standard. In these situations feedback and guidance can be given if required. If English is not your first language then extra assistance can be given to ensure that language is not a barrier - please get in touch with any questions.

Work with us!

Global Politics is now publishing on a weekly basis. As a result, we are looking for writers to serve as regular contributors to Global Politics. We are also on the lookout for funding:

Writing Team: Someone on the writing team would regularly contribute to GP (every 3-4 weeks) following the guidelines stated on our style page at www.global-politics.co.uk. Once we have a large enough team of writers who contribute regularly on the site, we'll put your bios and pictures up.

Fundraising: In these hard economic times, some funding to help publicize GP and pay contributors would be great. It would mean that we could raise the already high standard of content we have at Global Politics. The fundraiser will help draw up a viable funding proposal, and present it to the right channels to obtain funding. This position would mostly be separate from the other aspects of GP, based around a schedule that would work best for you.

Please note that all participation is on a voluntary basis for the time being. If you’d be interested in taking up any of these positions, please contact Felipe Schrieberg at

We look forward to working with you!

Here we set out our relationship with you, our readers and contributors. This is the foundation of a trust between Global Politics Magazine and you: you can trust in the quality and balance of our output, and we will trust in your constructive contributions to furthering debate.

Global Politics Magazine is an open forum for thought and debate. We aim to be politically, socially and geographically inclusive in the articles we commission and receive. Therefore we shall not discriminate according to political or religious views.

We strive to be impartial, accepting all political shades, not adhering to any ideology. Any particular article will embody the political views of its author but will not represent the political view of Global Politics Magazine.

We hope that different perspectives can inform and illuminate others for a vibrant and inclusive debate. Within and across issues, this will make Global Politics Magazine a representation of young people’s thinking, your thinking.

Do not offer to any section of Global Politics Magazine any sexist, racist or otherwise discriminatory opinions, or words that may inflame hatred: they will not be knowingly published. Equal respect also demands that you do not use swear words in any section of the Magazine.

If you put your name to an article, the work must be yours. If the words you offer are someone else’s, please respect her or his intellectual integrity by accrediting the author.
