Not the Same Old Story
 
Every week, the GBS provides new perspectives on critical global issues. GBS stories range from front page concerns like ethnic conflicts in the Balkans, nuclear smuggling in Russia, and the financial crisis in Asia, to less covered but equally vital themes such as global migration, environmental security, and information warfare.
 
Contributors include prominent specialists and correspondents from government, academia, policy institutes and the media around the world.
 
Most GBS articles are between 700 and 850 words, and are suitable for op-ed pages, Sunday perspective sections, and/or news analysis columns. Wherever possible, GBS articles will include "value-added" notes for editors, such as Web links for further information.
 
The GBS can also provide articles or writers upon request, utilizing our extensive global network of experts.

Previews of the week's upcoming articles are highlighted every Monday night on the Global Beat Syndicate home page.
