Introducing Dispatches by DiploPolis
Where the arguments from DiploPolis find your inbox — power, politics, diplomacy, and world affairs, with a point of view.
The world does not pause for understanding. Crises escalate, alliances shift, and the distance between a decision made in Washington or Brussels and its consequences felt in Mumbai, Nairobi, or Karachi keeps shrinking. Making sense of what is happening — and why it matters — requires more than headlines. It requires argument.
Dispatches is the newsletter home of DiploPolis — Diplomacy & Politics. It is where the analysis, commentary, and arguments published on diplopolis.com find their way directly to your inbox.
DiploPolis is not a neutral publication. It has a point of view. Every piece takes a position and defends it. The publication covers international affairs, diplomacy, and global politics with a deep sympathy for countries and people caught between large forces — and a conviction that the rules governing the world mean nothing if they only protect the powerful. The writing is sharp, argued, and grounded in evidence. There is no bothsidesism here. There is no hedging. Just argument.
Dispatches currently publishes one newsletter and more are on their way.
Saturday Dispatch arrives every Saturday morning — a personal note from the editor on the week's arguments at DiploPolis. What was written, what was at stake, and why it mattered. It is short, direct, and worth your weekend.
In the months ahead Dispatches will expand into focused newsletters covering specific threads running through the larger story of how the world is being remade: conflict, technology, climate, displacement, and the shifting architecture of global power.
If you believe the world deserves serious analysis rather than algorithmic noise — and that taking a position is not a weakness but a responsibility — this is the newsletter suite for you.
