The World Today, Chatham House's monthly magazine, was founded in 1945. Throughout this period it has offered the best and brightest insights and analysis on current affairs – from the fallout of the Second World War, through the Cold War, into the information age and the "war" on terror.
The articles are written by experts and scholars and the magazine is distributed worldwide and read by politicians, students, academics, business planners and others simply interested in keeping up-to-date on world affairs through authoritative sources.
The magazine goes to subscribers in more than eighty countries. Many hundreds of libraries find it essential. Chatham House's 4,500 individual and corporate members also receive the magazine; a recent survey conducted by our membership department found 79 percent of those read it regularly.
