A fresh way to discuss IR and Politics

27/08/2016

As a European Governance graduate, I was thrilled to discover "The Foreign Desk" while I was trying to occupy my summer time. The Foreign Desk proposes a very fresh way of discussing international relations and politics. The topics discussed are very contemporary and always presented and edited in a great way. I can only recommend to listen to the Foreign Desk if you are a student in humanities studies or simply passionate about world politics!
