International Affairs Watch

We monitor international conflicts. We analyse power dynamics. We turn data into knowledge.

International Affairs Watch is an independent observatory that researches and analyses international conflicts through the systematic tracking of events, the analysis of actors and geopolitical dynamics, and the use of data and quantitative methods to identify trends and make sense of complex scenarios.
