The Diplomatic Courier is anEnglish-language global news andinternational affairs analysis magazine based inWashington, D.C. It publishes six print issues per year. Its focus is on developments in diplomacy, conflict resolution, international affairs, and rule of law, as well as concepts and theories from a wide variety of related disciplines.[1]
The Diplomatic Courier was founded in 2006 by Ana Carcani Rold, its first editor-in-chief. The print magazine published four issues per year from 2006 to 2010, five issues in 2011, and six issues per year from 2012 to the present.
In the Summer 2011 issue, theDiplomatic Courier launched "The Top 99 Under 33" list,[3] listing the 99 most influential foreign policy professionals under 33. The Top 99 were chosen through an initial nominations process, and from there a board consisting of members of the networking group,Young Professionals in Foreign Policy (YPFP), and editors ofThe Diplomatic Courier chose the Top 99 and whom to honor as the Top 9.[4] In 2012 and 2013, the "Diplomatic Courier" continued the lists, each time choosing candidates from an open nominations process.
In the January 2012 issue, theDiplomatic Courier partnered with theThink Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) to produce the 2011 Global Go-ToThink Tank Report, launching the report at theNational Press Club (USA).[5] The approach ofJames McGann, director of the TTCSP, to the study and assessment of think tanks has been criticised bythink tank researchers such as Enrique Mendizabal andGoran Buldioski, director of theThink Tank Fund, supported by theOpen Society Institute.[6][7]
