Le Monde Diplomatique

Le Monde Diplomatique is a French monthly publication founded in 1954 in Paris, dedicated to deep analysis of international affairs, geopolitics, and global economics. Unlike daily newspapers, it prioritises context over immediacy, offering readers nuanced perspectives on the forces shaping the world. The publication is known for its long-form essays, investigative reporting, and in-depth commentary, covering topics ranging from international diplomacy and social movements to environmental crises and economic inequality. Its content is crafted to challenge assumptions, encourage reflection, and provide a critical lens on global events. Le Monde Diplomatique maintains editorial independence, funded primarily through subscriptions, partnerships, and reader support, deliberately avoiding influence from advertisers or political interests. This model allows it to explore complex stories and maintain a consistent, analytical voice across decades. Recognised internationally for its thoughtful reporting, Le Monde Diplomatique has become a trusted reference for intellectual and public discourse, helping readers understand global affairs beyond surface-level headlines and fostering informed debate on international issues.
