Global Politician is an independent journal of politics, economics and world affairs. Global Politician publishes analytical, insightful and critical articles. Expressing one's own ideas is encouraged. The material has to be well-written and provide actual knowledge, rather than propaganda or advertisement. Having said that, criticism or praise of governments, politicians, policies and actions is allowed.^[3]

However, Global Politician has published articles from an anonymous right-wing blogger called "Fjordman", an anonymous Norwegian blogger who writes about Islam and Muslim immigration and the danger that he believes it poses to Western civilization.^[4]
