About the at-large
A Platform for Global Dialogue
At-Large is the Royal Institute’s dynamic platform for informed dialogue on foreign policy, international relations, and strategic global engagement. We bring together the insights and expertise of our analysts, offering well-researched perspectives that connect directly with the Institute’s broader research, publications, and global collaborations with leading think tanks.
Our mission is to foster a space where ideas can be examined, challenged, and refined—helping decision-makers, academics, and the public better understand the evolving geopolitical landscape.
A Community Built on Respect and Insight
At-Large thrives on meaningful interaction between authors and readers, creating a vibrant community of informed voices. Participation is guided by clear standards designed to maintain respectful, thoughtful, and constructive dialogue. We value diverse perspectives but require that all contributions reflect maturity, fairness, and consideration for others.
Our moderation ensures that debates remain on-topic, free from personal attacks, and respectful of differences. Hate speech, discriminatory remarks, or threats have no place in our community. We encourage conversations that are intelligent, well-informed, and relevant to the topics at hand.
Principles of Engagement
To keep our discussions productive and inclusive, we ask participants to:
- Engage with courtesy, respect, and intellectual honesty
- Stay relevant to the discussion
- Avoid personal attacks, misrepresentation, and offensive language
- Contribute to the quality and depth of the conversation
- Recognize that all published opinions belong to their authors, not the platform itself
By following these principles, our members help ensure that At-Large remains a trusted space for meaningful global discourse.
Independent and Impact-Driven
At-Large operates as an independent entity, free from direct influence by public administrations or corporate funders. Our work is designed to inform and assist decision-makers in both public and private sectors, particularly in areas where strategic national interests are at stake.
Through independent analysis, international collaboration, and a commitment to intellectual integrity, we aim to advance understanding of the complex challenges shaping today’s world—and the opportunities that lie ahead.
