The 101

The world can be a confusing place. The goal of "The 101" is to breakdown some of the complex issues in international affairs, to give you the background and context you need to better understand them, to raise some questions that the purveyors of conventional wisdom are missing, and to do it all in a way that you won’t need a PhD in International Affairs to understand.

Author Ed Hancox has a Masters Degree in International Affairs from The New School in New York City; for the past four years he has written and published the International Affairs-focused blog, A World View.  Previously he worked as a journalist in both the print and broadcast media; currently he works for a global risk management research organization.
