New guest contributors on Global Dashboard

by | Jun 1, 2009


We’re very pleased that two guest contributors will be with us on Global Dashboard for the month of June – Peter Hodge (aka Kotare from The Strategist) and Andrew Pickering (editor of From Davos to Seattle).

Peter’s based in New Zealand and writes about the full spectrum of global affairs, with a particular focus on conflict and security issues: his full profile is here.

A warm welcome on board to both from me and David – we look forward to reading your posts!
