Purpose and Scope
MJIP Compass aims to bridge the gap between complex academic research and the general public by delivering short, clear, and engaging documents on pressing international political and economic topics. These publications are intended for anyone interested in understanding global affairs without requiring specialized academic background or jargon.
Publication Characteristics
Format: Brief booklets or reports, typically 5 to 10 pages in length, enriched with visuals such as infographics, charts, and timelines to enhance comprehension.
