Global Strategic Analysis

Editorial Staff and Academic Region Heads

Our Region Heads (senior faculty members, mostly from Oxford University) and in-house, full-time Regional Editor/Analysts, are critical to the success of The Oxford Analytica Daily Brief. They meet each morning at the Editorial Conference to determine which of the significant global events that occurred during the previous 24 hours are to be covered in the Daily Brief and who should be commissioned to analyse them among the world-wide network of scholar experts.

Under the guidance of the Region Heads, the full-time professional staff, each of them regional or subject specialists, continually coordinate, evaluate, and analyse major news and other sources from their region and edit the work of our contributor network. This ensures that all of the output of the Daily Brief, executive summaries as well as full-length articles, is subject to a rigorous process of monitoring, updating and internal and external critiquing in order to produce global analysis of the highest standard.
