About
Europe's record, read from the Global South
OnlineJourno EUWatch is a global desk. It reads the primary record of the European Union and the United Kingdom for one question: what does this mean for the Global South — its economies, its people, its governments and their negotiating positions? Carbon border adjustment, deforestation rules, trade agreements, development finance, aid and migration policy are made in Brussels and London and land in Lagos, São Paulo and Jakarta. EUWatch puts those decisions beside the official record of the other side of the table — African, Latin American and Southeast Asian governments and regional bodies, the WTO and UN regional commissions. Not a rewrite of the news: the source itself, before it is news anywhere.
How to read it
- Brief — the composed daily digest of what moved in the record, every item linked to its primary source.
- Sources — the registry. Sources still awaiting a working collector are shown, not hidden, with what each is waiting for.
- Graph and Ledger (invite-only) — the part that compounds: actors resolved across sources over time, and promises on the record tracked to their outcome. Ask for access.
Honest about the launch
EUWatch is new. It collects open feeds from the European Central Bank, the European Commission, the Council of the EU, the UK's foreign and trade ministries and its development-finance institution; from the AfCFTA Secretariat, ECOWAS, COMESA, the UN Economic Commission for Africa and South Africa's trade ministry; from SELA and Brazil's trade ministry; from the ASEAN Secretariat; and from the WTO and the South Centre. The record is thinnest where it matters too: no Middle Eastern or South Asian government feed can be collected yet, and the African Union, MERCOSUR, CARICOM and the regional development banks are registered but blocked or stale — each is on the Sources page with what it is waiting for. Briefs are composed by an AI model and carry a “not yet reviewed by an editor” note. The tool advises; it never decides.
