Global politics, elections and public policy
Power shifts rarely stay within one border. Our global politics coverage follows governments, parties and business leaders whose decisions ripple outward, from European capitals to South and Central Asia.
Stories range from Emmanuel Macron dissolving the French parliament after a European defeat to the question of whether Nigel Farage is reshaping British politics, and Belgian parties trying to form a government through a so-called conclave. Economic policy gets attention too, with foreign companies suspending investments in India after government action and a profile of a Kazakh business group.
The section also carries a broad mix of US stories with a political angle: police pursuit rules, the cost of ballot initiatives, media freedom concerns after phone hacking revelations, and large public gatherings in the capital. Use it as a wide-angle feed, then move to the elections or policy sections for more focused reading.
