Here is a return to our roots that we are delighted to highlight: Jocelyn Coulon is joining our team as an editorialist. He began his career at Le Devoir between 1985 and 1998, as a journalist, parliamentary correspondent in Ottawa, and head of international news. His experience makes him a natural fit for international policy issues.
Since leaving, Mr. Coulon has had a successful career path: directing two peacekeeping training centers, working as a political advisor and speechwriter for the Minister of Foreign Affairs (2016-2017), and, since 2023, serving as the editor-in-chief of the blog for the Montreal Council on International Relations (CORIM). He has authored about ten books on Canadian foreign policy and global affairs, with a new book co-authored by Nabil Jaafari and Malik M’Silti set to be published soon by Somme toute/Le Devoir.
Readers of Le Devoir will be pleased to see Mr. Coulon’s insightful perspective and sharp writing on international affairs, which always fill the news. He will also delve into foreign policy and defense issues, areas he has a particular interest in.
He kicks off this collaboration today with a first piece on the succession of António Guterres as UN Secretary-General. Welcome!
