Amir Qureshi

Amir Qureshi’s route into political writing began with international development rather than day-to-day Westminster reporting. He studied International Relations and Development Studies at SOAS University of London, where he focused on climate finance, migration, trade policy, and the political effects of global inequality. His early work included research notes for policy forums, short briefings on foreign affairs, and explanatory articles on how international decisions affect domestic public debate in Britain. He has written on climate negotiations, development funding, energy security, trade agreements, and the way global events are often translated into local political pressure. Amir’s work for London Politics sits between international affairs and public policy. He is particularly interested in stories where foreign policy, environmental commitments, economic risk, and public accountability meet.
