The Economist Academic Program

Why a special academic program?

Professors and students share one objective-to learn as much as they can, every day. We firmly believe that The Economist can help them do that.

The Economist looks at the entire world, not just the major powers. It presents carefully researched reports and scrupulously reasoned arguments on a wide range of subjects-from U.S. policy in the Middle East, to Russian-American relations, to Germany's political fragmentation, to issues faced by farmers in central China. And just enough irreverent commentary and witty asides to keep things interesting. All this can serve as great fodder for challenging written assignments and lively classroom debates.
