The focus section of this number is dedicated to the topic of long-distance relationships in private, political and cultural contexts. Articles deal with expatriation, life abroad, cultural norms, migration, corruption, and include a text by Fukuyama on global governance and multilateralism.

Of interest in the remaining magazine is the commentary by Foroutan on intercultural dialogue, spelling out its principles for policy-making. Worth noting is also the article on a workshop promoting women's rights which the German Foreign Office organised for a theatre group in Pakistan.

Some articles are accessible online on the website of the editor, the German Institut für Auslandbeziehungen, together with further information sources, at this external link.
