Intelligence for a volatile world

The Geopolitical Desk (GPD) is a next-generation geopolitical intelligence and media platform built for a world where power, perception and policy increasingly exist and move through the same information channels.

Our work is designed for diplomats, business leaders, policymakers, researchers and risk professionals who need trusted insight into politically complex environments.

We work with clients in energy, government, finance, humanitarian aid and international security.

If you're a casual reader, we offer a free newsletter and a selection of articles that are completely free to read with sharp, field-informed insights into some of the most important geopolitical issues of our times.

We prioritize local knowledge and field-based expertise. All our reporting is built on firsthand access and human intelligence, for an audience of intelligent humans.

We are not an open-source data aggregator, an automated AI newsletter or a home for recycled headlines. Unlike aggregators or opinion outlets, our briefings are built on direct access to local actors and deep contextual knowledge.

Our editorial team brings together local and international experts with deep experience in conflict-affected and politically sensitive contexts.

Every briefing or article we share is built on 40+ hours of primary research each week conducted by a team that spans cities like Washington D.C., London, Paris, Dubai, Barcelona, Algiers, Damascus, Tripoli and Tunis.

You can find out more about our organisational structure and our methodology here.

The Free plan includes GPD’s flagship weekly newsletter and a selection of free articles. The Intelligence plan provides full access to all website articles, deep dives and time-sensitive analysis published on GPD.

We are actively expanding our coverage across emerging and frontier markets, especially in the Middle East, North Africa, the Sahel and Central Africa.
