THE GLOBAL TACTICIAN / OPEN CALL
New perspectives
belong here.
We welcome thoughtful proposals from writers, researchers, students, practitioners, and people with something meaningful to share.
WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE
Ideas take many forms.
Traditional articles are only one way to bring a perspective into view.
Interviews & conversations
Introduce a specialist, explore a question, or bring a dialogue into the public conversation.
Photo essays & field notes
Show a place, practice, or experience through original imagery and considered context.
Explain something
Propose a research explainer, visual idea, or accessible introduction to a complex subject.
OUR EDITORIAL APPROACH
Curiosity, with rigor.
We value evidence, context, originality, fairness, and clear writing. A contribution need not express a particular political viewpoint; it should distinguish reporting from opinion and acknowledge credible counterarguments.
01Make a clear contribution
What will the reader understand that they didn't before?
02Work with care
Credit sources, respect privacy, and seek permission for images and quoted material.
03Stay open to revision
Acceptance of a pitch does not guarantee publication. Editors may request further research, sourcing, or changes.
THE PROCESS
From pitch to publication.
We begin with proposals, not an automatic publishing queue.
01 / SENDSubmit your idea
Tell us the subject, format, central argument, and why it matters.
02 / REVIEWEditorial consideration
Proposals are read privately by the editorial team. We cannot promise a response to every submission.
03 / DEVELOPInvitation to proceed
Selected contributors may be invited to develop or revise their work with an editor.
04 / PUBLISHPublication by editors
Only completed, approved work enters the Journal or a curated magazine issue.
THE EDITORIAL DESK / SUBMIT A PROPOSAL
Tell us what you'd like to share.
Send a concise pitch rather than a complete manuscript. You can include a link to a writing sample or portfolio. A private review does not make your work public.
Before you submit
We welcome original work, careful research, and authentic perspectives. You retain ownership of your proposal. We will contact you before any editorial publication.
Questions about how your proposal is stored? Read our contributor privacy notice.
