This month’s Style Leader is Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi, and our Election Watch column goes to Sierra Leone.
The next four years
Whoever ends up sat in the Oval Office come January next year will have a huge job on his hands but also a massive opportunity. Here is Monocle’s advice.
Telly Cities
Nothing compares to a popular TV series for putting a city on the map. From boosting tourism to building global recognition, Monocle looks at television as an invaluable soft-power tool for urban centres.
Oceania
Australia's straight-talking foreign minister, election watch in Vanuatu, and the soft power of Kiwi sport.
Dogs and new tricks
Japan is moving beyond disaster to re-establish itself as a regional leader in culture and innovative lifestyles. We meet the people spearheading the unusual evolution of Japanese society.
Export duty
Germany used to be wary about showing off its assets. Not anymore. Monocle explores how the Goethe-Institut cultural centres are disseminating all things German, free from government controls.
Diplomacy
