At The Jamestown Foundation, we focus most of our efforts on understanding the world from the Bering Strait and the South China Sea to the Baltic and Mediterranean seas. The strength of our work comes from our analysts who reside in more than 30 countries and who have direct, first-hand experience with the countries and developments they analyze. Too often, however, the presentation of analysis follows the pursuit of objectivity in sanitizing the writing and removing the analyst’s experience.

To help draw out the experiences and observations that enrich our understanding, we are launching Jamestown Perspectives. It will serve as a vehicle for articles that do not necessarily fit the traditional mold of our publications and incorporate observational and experiential data.
