With yet another academic year wrapped up, it is finally time for our well deserved break and to spend the days outside enjoying the long Swedish summer days (or wherever your vacation might take you). While many of you might be done with reading academic papers, now is the time to grab a new novel to daydream along with the characters’ adventures, watch a new movie once it is too dark to stay outside, or to learn intriguing new things from the latest non-fiction book. For this, our writers and editors of the Perspective gathered their favourite stories related to foreign affairs that are absolute must-reads and must-watches. We hope that it helps you pick your next story!
