Internship

The Devil Came on Horseback

Recognizing the ongoing relevance of the Darfur tragedy, World Policy Journal is now offering new subscribers, or current subscribers who renew for two years, a free DVD of the acclaimed documentary, The Devil Came on Horseback, about Steidle's quest to awaken the world to the tragedy in Darfur.

The World Policy Institute, a non-partisan source of progressive policy analysis and thought leadership for more than four decades, focuses on complex global challenges that demand cooperative policy solutions to achieve in an interdependent world: an inclusive and sustainable global market economy, engaged global civic participation and effective governance, and collaborative approaches to national and global security.
