In this wiki, you will find a collection of the students notes on a variety of global issues, with a focus on international finance, international relations, politics and business. Clearly not all of the content is our own, nor do we endorse students opinions posted on our pages. There have been many contributors to this site, and our role is just to moderate the content and make sure it fits the "GloboTrends" theme.

What are "GloboTrends?"

“GloboTrends” are fundamental underlying trends, which means that they are important, but might not be obvious. Many trends are interconnected, and have global implications. Not paying attention to the development of global trends in can come back to haunt any business person, and so… we have dedicated ourselves to summarizing these events in simple language, and we are trying to show how these events might be important to different regions, and to different industries.
