Answers to common questions about the publication and how we work.
Explaining The World is an independent geopolitical publication producing original long-form analysis every Sunday. We focus on the structural forces — geography, economics, history — that shape global events, written for a global English-speaking audience.
All analysis is published under the ETW Editorial byline. We do not publish under individual names — this is a deliberate editorial choice that keeps the focus on the quality of the argument rather than on the author's identity or background.
No. ETW Editorial is fully independent. We have no affiliation with any government, political party, think tank, or commercial sponsor. Every article published here reflects independent editorial judgement.
We publish one long-form analysis every Sunday. We prioritise depth and quality over frequency — each piece is researched, written, and edited to a high standard before publication.
