Talking

Podcast, Writing, and Public Speaking on Danish and Nordic Diplomacy

Public discourse on Nordic foreign policy, small state diplomacy, and intercultural understanding, with a direct route into advisory work for organisations that need more than commentary.

Why IQulture Talking

Most commentary on Nordic politics is written from Brussels, Washington or a Copenhagen newsroom. IQulture Talking comes at it from another angle: a small state seen from the inside, by someone trained in both international relations and religious studies, with one foot in Southeast Asia. The result is analysis that explains not only what Denmark does in the world, but why it does it that way.

For practitioners it is an easy way to test the thinking before booking advisory work. For everyone else it is a clearer picture of how a country too small to set the terms still makes itself heard.

Podcast: Diplomacy and International Relations
