Tomorrow's Leaders Making Sense of Today's World

About TSI:

  • The Stratagem Initiative (TSI) is a student-led think tank and organization committed to helping others make sense of the international events defining today's world. We know that international affairs has profound effects on everything from our democracy to gas prices and grocery bills. We believe international affairs should be accessible to everyone—not just a select few.

  • TSI is committed to creating a platform where young minds can explore and challenge conventional thinking in international affairs. Founded in 2024 by Georgetown University undergraduates and rooted in Washington, D.C., we bring together multidisciplinary perspectives, fostering authentic learning, open debate, and creative thinking.

Our Stratagem Newsletter

  • Stratagem is our initiative's flagship newsletter designed to help you learn about the international events shaping today's world. Our members are current students in the #1 ranked university in the world for international relations who spend each day breaking down complex material into easy to understand language. In our newsletters, we clearly separate fact from opinion and utilize a diverse array of high quality sources to create a concise and intelligent newsletter. 

  • On Tuesday we publish the Beyond Borders Brief with five international stories the major outlets are messing up or missing out on, each in 200 words or less. 

  • On Thursday we publish the Deep Dive, a 1600 word story with the history, context, strategy, and nuance you need to understand the events and people shaping today's world.
