The Political Pulse is an interdisciplinary student journal led by students at King’s College London with writers and editors from universities across the country.
In times of increasing polarisation and misinformation, our mission is to promote a diverse, well-researched, and critical analysis of contemporary global topics at the intersection of international relations, politics, history, and law. Through balanced research and open-minded interviews, The Political Pulse seeks to reconcile the diverse viewpoints in politics and attempt to build consensus across the political spectrum.
We are a team comprising cultural backgrounds as diverse as our stances. With indiscriminate ears and vigilant voices, we hope to broaden our readers’ understanding of current affairs through varied perspectives and interpretations.
By providing a platform for students and emerging scholars from disciplines such as Law, History, Politics, and International relations. The Political Pulse aims to foster informed, thoughtful and inclusive discussions.
We are proud to announce our first interview with Former Second Secretary Rosanne Costin of the Australian Embassy in Japan. In this interview, Rosanne talks about the complexities of negotiation, trade, diplomacy and her time as a diplomat. While working in this position, she was part of the team that negotiated what would eventually be JAEPA (Japan-Australia Economic Partnership agreement) which oversaw the liberalisation of Australian-Japanese trade.
