Integrating the best practices of global affairs and education with the principles of modern product design, we craft intuitive learning platforms that deliver substantive, accessible content.

We create platforms that are adaptable for all stages of an educational journey. They act as both a reservoir of knowledge and a toolkit to maintain and deepen expertise. We also create targeted online communities to encourage collaboration and learning among foreign relations experts.

Who We Are

We are a diverse group from the political analysis, diplomatic, business, and media communities, including veteran political analysts, passionate startup entrepreneurs, talented UI/UX and graphic designers, established educators, and experienced marketing professionals.

Our Values

  • We are committed to curating and delivering the most reliable and relevant information about countries and their geopolitical landscapes. Our experts work diligently to provide comprehensive insight into countries’ political landscapes.

  • We believe in making global affairs knowledge more accessible to all, where accessible means both available to you and easy to use. Whether you're a seasoned diplomat, a curious student, or a concerned citizen, you'll find resources tailored to your needs.

  • We are dedicated to upholding the principles of transparency, integrity, and independence. We welcome donations exclusively from those who share a commitment to non-interference with the Institute’s work. Our research priorities and content decisions are insulated from donor influence, and we are committed to preserving the independence of all research staff.

  • We champion global affairs experts, many of whom have devoted their lives to remaining at the forefront of their respective fields. They invest countless hours, often without compensation, engaging with people on the ground, closely tracking events, and delving deep into the intricacies of their specialties. We are committed to paying fair compensation for their invaluable knowledge and insights, and to ensuring their insights are utilized by those responsible for global decision-making.

With your investment, you will inform decision-making, champion expertise, enhance global journalism, and cultivate the leaders of tomorrow.
