"Conflict Weekly" and "The World This Week" are two weekly publications that cover major developments relating to conflicts and global politics that happened during the week. The publications contains three to four short notes every week, in 700-800 words, looking at three questions: What happened? What is the background? What does it mean?
Both publications also feature a “Regional Roundup” section, offering concise, region-wise snapshots of key global developments. These brief updates provide quick context, enabling readers to track regional trends along with the main focus notes.
