“The Ballot reminds us that, in a media ecosystem drowning in solipsism, the mere act of looking overseas can be a radical one.” — Frieze
We are an online magazine taking a global approach to politics. Populism, income inequality, and institutional decay are global phenomena. People around the world are facing similar problems and should be sharing what they know.
In 2020, we looked at elections in 40 countries, from Azerbaijan to Ukraine.
In 2021, we looked at the links between authoritarian movements around the world—the international networks behind the rise of nationalism.
Right now, we’re publishing at a slower pace as we prepare our next steps.
Our editors moonlight to bring you new and important journalism. Your support will help us expand.
