About Diplomatic Courier

Welcome to Diplomatic Courier, the global affairs media network that connects global publics to leaders in international affairs, diplomacy, social good, and more. Diplomatic Courier’s global network spans 140 countries and five continents. Readers can find us in print, online, mobile apps, video, and social media.

We are also the hosts of the futuristic global series of events called the World in 2050. We hosted the first one in 2013 to explore the Future of Diplomacy.

Since then, we’ve tackled several megatrends such as food, jobs, philanthropy, cities, and more. Our philosophy: Our number one goal is to always be accessible no matter where our readers are and their means of accessing content.

We publish articles, blogs, and videos on a daily basis across multiple platforms. And we make it a point to only publish original content. Intergenerational: Above all, Diplomatic Courier is a platform for global dialogue.

Unlike no other publication of international affairs, we provide a forum for generations in foreign policy to exchange ideas by publishing established voices alongside new and young voices (under 35).

Global: With a network of readers and digital influencers in 140 countries and five continents, we cater to a global audience. Our home page won’t feature issues only dear to Washington and Brussels but many other capitals around the world.

Our team of over 200 contributors around the world reports the stories behind the news from the ground. If you are looking only for US foreign policy content we know some other great publications that cover that space well.

The world in 2050

Enormous challenges lie ahead. From managing climate change and coping with new security threats to feeding almost 10 billion people by 2050, navigating the future is tricky.

Diplomatic Courier has examined the indicators and the trends for a decade and in 2013 decided to explore and confront the challenges that lie ahead by convening thought leaders across multiple disciplines, industry sectors, government, and civil society through the Future Forums series.
