A geopolitical intelligence subscription is a service that delivers ongoing structured analysis of global political and economic developments — covering political risk, conflict dynamics, energy markets and early warning signals.

The Geopolitical Desk (GPD) is a next-generation geopolitical intelligence subscription platform built for a world where power, perception and policy increasingly exist and move through the same information channels.

Our work is designed for diplomats, business leaders, policymakers, researchers and risk professionals who need trusted insight into politically complex environments.

If you're a casual reader, we offer a free newsletter and a selection of articles and geopolitical updates that are completely free to read with sharp, field-informed insights into some of the most important issues of our times.

Unlike a news subscription services, our content is designed for professionals making strategic, investment or operational decisions, not general readers.

News media reports what happened. Geopolitical intelligence explains why it matters, what comes next, and what the implications are for markets, policy and operations.

The Geopolitical Desk provides field-sourced analysis, scenario mapping and early warning signals, not reactive coverage. Our Libya and Iran coverage has consistently been ahead of the broader news cycle.

That's because we prioritise local knowledge and field-based expertise. All our reporting is built on firsthand access and human intelligence, for an audience of intelligent humans.

We are not an open-source data aggregator, an automated AI newsletter or a home for recycled headlines. Unlike aggregators or opinion outlets, our briefings are built on direct access to local actors and deep contextual knowledge.

Our editorial team brings together local and international experts with deep experience in conflict-affected and politically sensitive contexts.

Every briefing or article we share is built on 40+ hours of primary research each week conducted by a team that spans cities like Washington D.C., London, Paris, Dubai, Barcelona, Algiers, Damascus, Tripoli and Tunis.

You can find out more about our organisational structure and our methodology here.

The Intelligence plan (£29/month) includes unlimited access to all articles and deep dives, occasional scoops and coverage during major geopolitical developments, full article archive access, a private RSS feed (coming soon) and no advertising.

The Enterprise plan adds access to the Libya Desk™ and Iran Desk™ datastreams, which include downloadable resources for internal use, priority coverage during major geopolitical events, early access to new analysis, an analyst onboarding briefing, multiple user access for your whole team, exclusive research and risk briefs, as well as a direct line to our analysts.

Core coverage includes Libya and Iran (via the dedicated Libya Desk™ and Iran Desk™), Gulf dynamics, North Africa, US foreign policy and its global implications, energy security and conflict trajectories across West Asia.

If you're looking for a country we don’t yet offer, get in touch: we may be able to activate early access or provide a tailored solution.
