Establishment media has been consumed by its neoliberal condition, with its motivations largely determined by a vast politico-industrial circuitry. This has come at the cost of critical journalism, mass rationality and naturally occuring humanism in a world still retaining its imperialist properties. Psychopolitical Review, founded in 2025, is a response to this calamity.
It primarily focuses on longform opinion pieces exploring international affairs and, to a lesser extent, domestic affairs in India. The mode of enquiry is a multi-disciplinary probe—analysing ideas, people, objects and events through abstract devices—to diagram political phenomena as a network of psychological impulses.
Psychopolitical Review takes a critical view of US foreign policy, oligarchal expansionism and extremist ideology.
It was founded—and is edited—by New Delhi-based journalist Samar, previously with The Asian Age, Mint and Times of India.
