GSPM™ Editorial Team

The Global Stress Points Matrix™ is the work of unique interaction between three key communities:

  • Region Heads -- senior academics at Oxford and other universities, who help identify key themes and frame questions that need answering;
  • In-house professional staff, who are experts in their own right and ensure that coverage is of the highest standard and in line with clients' interests; and
  • Network contributors, drawn from universities and think tanks around the world, who are commissioned to provide analysis on specific topics. We do not make our network contributors public.
