Whilst our team is now dotted across the globe, The Transatlantic Puzzle originated in a small Scottish town overlooking the North Sea. The project, which was launched in June 2017, includes students, graduates, and faculty of the University of St Andrews.

Our idea is simple.

With transatlantic relations evolving at a rapid rate, we wanted to create a peer-reviewed digital medium through which to provide sharp analysis on the interlocking pieces of the puzzle: Culture & Society, Environment, Migration, Security, and Technology. As a crucial part of this puzzle, the Missing Piece highlights existing gaps in the analysis of current transatlantic events.
