The Cosmopolitan Globalist--which you can find by looking for my name on Substack--was borne of the observation that genuinely global news coverage has all but disappeared from the Anglophone media. Thus this journal: a publication that is neither national, nationalist, partisan, narrow-minded, nor provincial.

Thus this journal: a publication that is neither national, nationalist, partisan, narrow-minded, nor provincial. The Cosmopolitan Globalist is, as the name suggests, cosmopolitan and worldly, and the center of our world is not Washington, D.C.We are 68 writers, journalists, academics, politicians, and analysts around the globe, whom I've shepherded into a single platform with the help of my trusty sidekick and co-editor, Vivek Kelkar, in Mumbai. We are united by our attachment to 18th-century Enlightenment ideals: rational inquiry, free speech, free trade, progress, tolerance, fraternity, constitutional governance, the rule of law, and the separation of state from church, temple, and mosque alike. We firmly reject the far-right, the far-left, and populism, but beyond favoring decency and common sense, we are not passionately ideological. Our aim is to offer educated, erudite, and credible reporting and analysis from the world around, treating issues of genuinely global import. We host regular debates and podcasts, and we offer our readers a forum to discuss these issues with us and each other. We’ve kicked off with a Substack newsletter, but we will soon be expanding to a dedicated website.We strive to be more intelligent, reflective, astute, and accurate than any other publication.
