In this yearbook, you will be reading the top five articles from each of our subject and region areas for 2015. Our selection, like all selections, is subjective and imperfect. We have agonized over our decisions and there are other articles we would have dearly liked to include. Yet we have to adhere by our structure. As in The World This Week, five is our magic number and some articles have inevitably slipped through the cracks.
Make Sense of 2015 is rich in content. It showcases the quality and diversity of our contributors. You can see that we live up to our ideal of bringing together a plurality of perspectives that cut across borders, backgrounds and beliefs. This yearbook is a valuable resource for students, academics, diplomats, business professionals and global citizens.
This is an e-book that can be read on smartphone, tablet and desktop in PDF format.
