Editor's Note

We are excited to welcome you all and introduce you to the first issue for Platform magazine: At a Crossroads. Platform is a monthly political magazine covering the key international stories that are shaping societies around the world. Our first issue discusses developments in the Ivory Coast, Germany, and the US, that will have massive implications for upcoming political decisions, by these governments and the citizens these Governments are meant to serve. A politically active and educated citizenry is one of the important criteria for a prosperous future for all of humanity and for understanding and impacting the political decisions that will affect them. Platform seeks to educate and inform our readers about the important issues going on around the world. We hope to broaden the spectrum of the political issues on the minds of our reader base, by discussing a range of global issues and not exclusively Western stories.
