Description

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 exposes the fraying seams of global order, where nationalism, ideology and institutional decay collide. Security studies expert Dr. Ramanand Garge tracks how Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US aligned Indian and American right-wing populism under a shared vision. Businessman Mudit Jain warns that US President Donald Trump’s tariffs may be accelerating China’s economic dominance and retired diplomat Alfredo Toro Hardy critiques how US constitutional originalism locks a living society into a dead past. Young Imogen Alessio shines the light on Cameroon, while analyst Fernando Carvajal shines the light on Sudan. Peter Isackson, our chief strategy officer, probes how tech giants are using AI to reshape power behind the scenes.
