Fair Observer Monthly is a chance for you to sit down, look back and think about the month past. A month lasts 28 to 31 days, a suitably appropriate time to take stock of the world. We publish daily on our website and we select some of our best articles every month in our e-magazine. We will give you context and multiple perspectives on issues that matter. We will inform and educate you. Fair Observer Monthly does what we promise: make sense of the world.
This month, authoritarian power and democratic fragility dominate the global picture. We have perspectives from both Germany and Switzerland, as well as Brazil and Venezuela. Naturally, tariffs attract attention. So do financial markets. Japanese economist Masaaki Yoshimori observes how even US Treasuries — the world’s supposed bedrock of financial safety — now face greater political risk. We also cover Lebanon, a Chinese megadam that could weaponize water against its neighbors and even education.
