This week, The Globe launches World Insider, a daily examination of the most important international developments and global issues, written by a group of experienced and interesting experts, veteran diplomats and on-the-ground insiders from around the world. Exclusively for Globe Unlimited subscribers, World Insider will each morning offer a detailed analysis of a current world news development and its potential effects on Canadians, their investments, and their future – an informed and essential roadmap that cuts through the noise of international headlines.
World Insider is produced by The Globe's award-winning international-affairs columnist Doug Saunders and by foreign editor Craig Offman, who oversees the most extensive international coverage in the Canadian media, with bureaus in Beijing, New Delhi, Jerusalem, Johannesburg, Rome, London, New York, Washington and Rio de Janeiro.

Middle East Insider: Every Friday, Middle East writer Patrick Martin will provide an insider's account of the most important developments in the Middle East and North Africa, drawing on his unparalleled range of contacts and experiences.
Americas Insider: A team of writers led by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist David Shribman, will offer an insider's analysis of U.S. politics, with a focus on its effects on the economy and the wider world.
