'The international community is feeling uneasy about the future of the world’s second-most populous continent. While this may be motivated by the good intention of preventing the contagion of the ‘coup trap’, the methods used are far from effective in bringing about meaningful changes to the region.' - Rafsi Albar

In our latest article, Rafsi Albar argues the ideal way of diplomacy with African military governments is to 'get past the demonisation of military regimes'. Only through negotiation can democracy be restored.

[Annual Anthology 2023 − Call for Articles]

Conflict and Contradiction: Navigating an Uncertain World

For this year’s topic, we bear in mind the ramifications of conflicts in a post-Covid world. With a focus on states, institutions and corporations, we’re interested in how they react and interact in a world that appears increasingly multipolar, while accounting for the unique environmental, economic and political problems that affect each country over the past year. Considering the geopolitical climate, with key events such as Turkey’s recent earthquake, the Northern Ireland Protocol, and climate injustice in the backdrop, to name a few - we wish to discuss conflict and confrontation: how do we address them in this changing geopolitical dynamic?

In addition to the examples above, some prospective topics include:
(1) Britain’s refugee boat crisis and why it holds importance in UK’s political discourse
(2) Ambiguities behind energy and gas procurement in the EU, post-Ukraine invasion
(3) Displacement from theatres of war in South Sudan, Ukraine, and Eritrea

You have full creative freedom! Features, op-eds, investigative reporting, and photo essays are all welcomed in the anthology. Please submit your contributions using the link in our bio. We look forward to reading your submissions!

Submissions ideally should not be more than 1,500 words. Please include a title and picture with source to your submission. Additionally, you are welcome to include a short biography and your photo to your submission.

[The Global Review Podcast Episode 2023 - 'Tibetan Sovereignty Puzzle: The Future of the Tibetan Resistance']
This episode of The Global Review featuring Dr Lobsang Sangay seeks to examine the question of contested Tibetan sovereignty, as well as the future of Tibet as a nation-state in the context of contemporary political developments. Our principal line of enquiry will address themes such as Tibetan governance, passive or non-violent resistance, Chinese territorial ambitions, and relevant provisions of international law.

Dr Sangay’s insights regarding the extent of Tibetan administrative authority and the efficacy of governments-in-exile will be central to examining the case concerning Tibet as a unique episode of contested sovereignty.

Dr Sangay is the Former Prime Minister (Sikyong) of the Central Tibetan Administration headquartered in Dharamshala, India, from 2012-2021. Receiving a Master’s Degree from Harvard Law School, Dr. Sangay completed his dissertation ‘Democracy in Distress: Is Exile Polity a Remedy? A Case Study of Tibet’s Government-in-exile’, in 2005 and was awarded the prestigious Yong K. Kim’ 95 Prize. In 2005, he was appointed research fellow and promoted to senior fellow until early 2011, when he took office as Kalon Tripa of the Central Tibetan Administration serving until 2012.
