We’re recruiting LSE students for our subcommittee!

The London Globalist is the student-led international affairs magazine at the LSE. From exposing the grim reality of the clean energy transition to investigating the use of algorithmic tools in democracies, our correspondents analyse a wide range of global shifts and publish their findings through articles and personal essays.

This year, we are expanding even further.

That is why we need you.

From the London Globalist’s executive committee, we welcome you warmly to apply for a subcommittee position: either in events, fundraising, or editorial. Whether you want to shape our coverage or build partnerships for our events, we would love to hear your ideas.

Apply using the link in our bio by August 20th.

You can also join as a correspondent - applications for correspondents open later on in August.

We can’t wait to read your applications and welcome you into the committee!

Cold War geography is no longer enough to sustain American power in the Pacific.

As China pushes beyond the island chains that once anchored U.S. containment strategy, Eli James Bednarek argues that Washington’s reliance on outdated Cold War frameworks is actively undermining its forward presence. By reducing sovereign partners to strategic real estate, island-chain rhetoric alienates allies, validates Beijing’s encirclement narrative, and weakens the political relationships that deterrence depends on. The future of American influence, the article contends, lies in agency being the foundation of strategy instead of location.

"It is essential that the US at least makes an effort to improve relations with [BRICS] countries, or the ‘West’ will be ancient history."

As BRICS expands and the global order tilts toward multipolarity, Laura Chang Wren argues that Washington’s biggest strategic mistake isn’t Beijing or Moscow, but pushing away the “swing states” that will shape the next world order. India, Brazil, and South Africa are better framed as pivotal powers whose choices will determine the balance of global influence. Yet tariffs, sanctions, and political pressure risk driving them closer to China and Russia. If the US wants to remain central to international leadership, it must abandon coercion for partnership, or watch hegemony erode by its own hand.

Is Italy about to follow the US, Hungary, and the UK down a path of judicial erosion, or is this a different kind of reform?

As Italy heads toward a 2026 confirmatory referendum on the Nordio reform, fears of executive overreach and weakened judicial independence have taken centre stage. Edoardo Scacchia examines whether Italy’s proposed overhaul of the justice system truly threatens the separation of powers - or whether, unlike recent trends elsewhere in the West, it may reinforce judicial impartiality rather than erode it.

Not all green policy protects people. Some of it protects power.

Daniel Loncaric examines Colombia’s Decree 044 and the wave of miner protests it triggered, arguing that environmental regulation can become a tool of exclusion rather than justice. Framed as climate protection, Temporary Reserve Areas have frozen small-scale miners out of their livelihoods while allowing well-capitalised corporations to consolidate control and re-enter on their own terms. The article argues that “green” governance, when imposed from the top down, can criminalise livelihoods and centralise power; raising a deeper question about who truly benefits from sustainability reforms.

Moroccan protest has gone global - and this time, the state can’t contain it at home.

GenZ212 marks a break from Morocco’s past protest cycles. While its demands - healthcare, education and an end to corruption - echo earlier movements, its methods do not. By organising through Discord, rejecting leadership, mobilising the diaspora and adopting globally shared protest symbols, Morocco’s Generation Z has embedded a domestic struggle within an international movement. Hugh Hamilton-Plumb explores how GenZ212 transforms familiar grievances into a transnational challenge; and why this global dimension may prove harder for the Moroccan state to neutralise.
