Here’s a return to basics that we are delighted to highlight: Jocelyn Coulon joins our team as a guest editorialist. He cut his teeth in Duty between 1985 and 1998, as a journalist, parliamentary correspondent in Ottawa and responsible for international information. His track record makes him an ideal contributor to international political issues.
Since his departure, Mr. Coulon has continued a busy career: management of two peacekeeping training centers, stint as political advisor and speechwriter for the Minister of Foreign Affairs (2016-2017) and, since 2023, editor-in-chief of the blog of the Council on International Relations of Montreal (CORIM). He is also the author of around ten books on Canadian foreign policy and world affairs – and he will soon publish, with Somme tout/Le Devoir, a work on the Global South co-signed with Nabil Jaafari and Malik M’Silti.
Readers of Duty will be delighted to find the fine mind and pen of Mr. Coulon on international business issues, which do not fail to fill the news. He will also be interested in foreign policy and defense issues, in which he is particularly interested.
He is inaugurating this collaboration today with a first text relating to issues linked to the succession of António Guterres to the post of Secretary General of the UN. Welcome!
