orld Statesman is unique among current affairs magazines: it only publishes interviews with, or articles by, key figures from the world of politics and business.

Currently quarterly, but with a current affairs section updated on a weekly basis, World Statesman features substantial articles and interviews covering key global issues, from trade expansion in the NAFTA countries to Eritrea's efforts to rebuild in the wake of war.

We set out to inform, stimulate and prompt debate among our readers. World Statesman's viewpoint is dispassionate: we let the words of our contributors speak for themselves. Not everyone will agree with every view and opinion expressed in World Statesman - so please e-mail us with your opinions, views, comments and ideas.
