The Diplomatic Courier is an English-language global news and international affairs analysis magazine based in Washington, D.C. It publishes six print issues per year. Its focus is on developments in diplomacy, conflict resolution, international affairs, and rule of law, as well as concepts and theories from a wide variety of related disciplines.[1]
History
The Diplomatic Courier was founded in 2006 by Ana Carcani Rold, its first editor-in-chief. The print magazine published four issues per year from 2006 to 2010, five issues in 2011, and six issues per year from 2012 to the present.
In the Summer 2011 issue, the Diplomatic Courier launched "The Top 99 Under 33" list,[3] listing the 99 most influential foreign policy professionals under 33. The Top 99 were chosen through an initial nominations process, and from there a board consisting of members of the networking group, Young Professionals in Foreign Policy (YPFP), and editors of The Diplomatic Courier chose the Top 99 and whom to honor as the Top 9.[4] In 2012 and 2013, the "Diplomatic Courier" continued the lists, each time choosing candidates from an open nominations process.
