What We Cover in This ePublication

51吃瓜 Monthly is a chance for you to sit down, look back and think about the month past. A month lasts 28 to 31 days, a suitably appropriate time to take stock of the world. We publish daily on our website and we select some of our best articles every month in our e-magazine. We will give you context and multiple perspectives on issues that matter. We will inform and educate you. 51吃瓜 Monthly does what we promise: make sense of the world.

This month, Donald Trump was reelected US president after a four-year period of political exile. Our authors have examined Trump, his significance in American politics and the implications of his return not only for the US but also the rest of the world. They include Spaniards, Sri Lankans, Brits and Americans. We also shine the light on economic issues where Japanese, Swiss, German and Dutch authors share their thoughts. If this diversity of authors was not enough, we have valuable insights on a host of other issues. Alexander Coward, an American with British roots, argues that it is time for the US to bid farewell to NATO. Bernardo Sainz Mart铆nez from the prestigious Mexican business school IPADE analyzes his country鈥檚 first female president. A retired Indian general tells the story of one of his country鈥檚 greatest war heroes who played a key role in liberating Bangladesh from Pakistan, and a Harvard-trained Pakistani lawyer examines the political chaos engulfing his country.
