Our Story
Cutting through the noise
Diplomatic Compass was born out of the need for faster, sharper, and more inclusive ways to understand international power politics. We believe strategy should not be reserved for the few and that clarity is a form of access.
Our platform speaks in multiple languages, formats, and voices, reaching across divides, and amplifying perspectives too often left out.
Who We Are
Diplomatic Compass is an independent strategic platform based in Brussels, delivering sharp, policy-relevant insights on international politics, NATO affairs, transatlantic security and Southern Neighborhood.
We translate complex developments into accessible analysis, bridging the dots between Brussels, Washington, and the Southern Neighborhood from the Mediterranean to the Gulf.
We specialize in fast-moving video content under 60 seconds, as well as in-depth strategic briefs and expert reports tailored to decision-makers, regional analysts, and policy professionals.
Our Mission
To inform, challenge, and connect. Diplomatic Compass covers security and foreign policy through a dual lens: from within Brussels’ institutions, and from the vantage point of the regions most affected.
We produce original short videos, strategic briefs, and expert commentary in both written and audiovisual formats. Our goal is to amplify informed voices, shape serious debate and go beyond the headlines.
What We Cover
- NATO: Strategy and Defense, Cooperative Security, and Southern Neighborhood Partnerships
- EU: Foreign and Security Policy, diplomacy, and engagement with the Southern Neighbourhood and Gulf.

Our Audience
We speak to politicians, diplomats, analysts, journalists, and policy watchers in Brussels and beyond. We also reach young professionals and regional audiences seeking clarity on what power politics actually means for them and how global decisions echo in local realities.
Multilingual Vision
Diplomatic Compass delivers content in English, French, Nederlands and Arabic reflecting the linguistic diversity of its audiences from Washington -Brussels across the Mediterranean to the Gulf.
English is our primary working language, with French, Nederlands and Arabic editions to broaden access and impact.
