Combining elements of time travel — both into history as well as into the future — with first-rate storytelling, The Globalist's Essay of the Week explores important events, locations and people that shape life in the emerging global community.

Analyzing globalization

Whether we present the population forecast for 2050, visit a local school in rural Burkina Faso or examine who was the world's first environmentalist, the overarching goal is to help students everywhere in the world make up their own mind on the issue of globalization.

Diversity of perspectives

We focus on what unites — but also divides — countries, societies and cultures, what common challenges we face in the global era — and what solutions other countries have to offer to the global community.

Often casting issues in cross-country comparisons, The Globalist's Essay of the Week provides the key to understanding our common future. The diversity of perspectives we offer ensures that our content does not advance the interests, value systems or perspectives of any one nation.
