This edition of UTPOST explores private actors in international affairs. Our writers explore a world where power isn’t conventionally exercised through parliaments or international organisations. Rather, it is embedded in algorithms, patronage politics, and private decision making that operates beyond traditional democratic oversight. This issue invites for reflection on how such power is exercised today, what power you may hold, and what it might mean for the future of international affairs.

A huge thanks to our amazing writers, without them this magazine wouldn’t be possible. We hope you will find the articles as interesting as we do.

Happy reading,
William Lundberg & Miriam Lundberg – UAIA Editors
