The Global Observatory (GO) provides timely analysis on issues and trends in international affairs. Published by the International Peace Institute, the publication features concise analytical articles by experts and interviews with leading policymakers. We seek to present new thinking and analysis on global issues and challenges related to multilateralism, the United Nations, and regional organizations; peacekeeping operations; peacebuilding, sustaining peace, and mediation; gender, peace, and security; humanitarian affairs; climate action; and related topics.

Due to our physical proximity to the United Nations in New York, the GO’s audience is rooted in the UN community.

About

The GO is headed by Editor-in-Chief Jill Stoddard and produced in collaboration with Albert Trithart, Editor and Research Fellow, and through the contributions of IPI program staff. Social media and the publication’s website are managed by Annie Schmidt.
