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. The vast majority of our readers are in the US and UK, but we are also read regularly in over 100 countries around the world.
I want to write for Global Politics Magazine - what next?
Business and professional people, students, academics and international relations practitioners read Global Politics. It's therefore important that our articles cater for this very broad and intellectually curious reader base. Our readers want to be challenged, provoked, surprised and even entertained by articles which offer them cogent analysis and informed argument. They don’t want long-winded anecdotal pieces, insider jargon, narrow topics, or excessively technical writing.
The perfect Global Politics article should strike a balance between being a reference point for debate among international relations specialists and practitioners while also engaging with and appealing to a more general interest reader.
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 into the political debate.
If you would like to contribute, please check our style guide and email either the submission or a brief outline of the proposed article to us at
Please note that we will not publish an article if it lacks a clear argument. 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 publishes continuously. As a result, we are looking for both ad hoc feature articles and op ed pieces, as well as writers to serve as regular contributors:
Writing Team: Someone on the writing team would regularly contribute to GP (every 3-4 weeks) following the guidelines stated in our style guide.
Fundraising and Advertising: Funding and partnerships with select organisations through sponsorship or advertising would allow us to expand Global Politics and publicise the magazine to a wider audience.
If you would like to participate in the continued success of Global Politics as a contributor, partner organisation or advertiser, please contact David Miles
We look forward to working with you!
