New From The Globalist Research Center

Africa's Demographic Multiplication
By Joseph Chamie

  When we talk about population growth, what we typically talk about is China and India, the Asian behemoths that together account for about a third of the global population. But according to Joseph Chamie, the former director of the UN Population Division, Africa's future growth will have repercussions not just for Africans, but for all of us.


Globalist Paper

East Africa: Left Behind
By Bernard Wasow

  As the world population passes seven billion, there is much hand-wringing among the prosperous of the world about the unchecked growth of the hungry folk, especially on faraway shores.

The Two Faces of Islam
By The Globalist

  Much of the debate in the West about Islam views the religion as a monolith. Former Indonesian president Abdurrahman Wahid, who died on December 30, 2009, could not have disagreed more. In his view, there are two very different forms of Islam — one Wahhabi-inspired and the other humanitarian. In this Globalist Retrospective, we present his list of the key attributes of both sides of Islam.
