Call for Papers

Background

MInter Group Srl has developed a series of books on geopolitics, security, and geostrategy: “Kosmos – Discover Global Affairs”, in collaboration with Mondo Internazionale APS, starting in 2022.

MInter Group Srl is a consultancy firm operating in the fields of geopolitical intelligence, security, and business internationalization.

Mondo Internazionale APS operates in the field of Cultural Diplomacy in more than 20 countries worldwide, with three offices in Italy, Switzerland, and Côte d'Ivoire. It carries out activities related to geopolitical analysis, training, journalism, public policies, and events.

Starting in 2024, MInter Group and Mondo Internazionale have decided to publish two volumes per year, in addition to potential sector-specific publications.

Call for Papers – 2025

As part of our core mission, we are working to enhance specialized contributions dedicated to geopolitics, security, and geostrategy. This effort responds to the emerging need to analyze global instability factors in post-conflict areas, developing countries, and crisis regions, aiming to identify and study cross-correlations among different regions across continents.

The Call for Papers seeks to collect, map, and present the perspectives of experts from an international group of authors. Their analysis of selected topics will provide a comprehensive view of the global context. Following a quality assessment conducted by partner organizations, the best contributions will be published as part of the thematic volume, with proper attribution to the respective authors.
