The Easter edition of The Monocle Weekly comes to you from London, where the team regroups after the successful LA launch of The Monocle Shop. As NATO celebrates its 60th birthday, we talk to international relations expert Daniel Hamilton about whether the organisation is growing old gracefully and what challenges it faces in the coming months. Design doyenne Ilse Crawford joins us in the studio to discuss the state of European design and what the current crop of design graduates can expect in uncertain economic times. Security expert Ben Soames is also with us to help disarm slightly more tangible threats - pirates and assassins. All this and the usual culture and comment from host Tyler Brûlé, with Andrew Tuck and Rob Bound.

The Monocle Weekly is a mix of smart discussion, previews, field reports and feature interviews. From our studio in London and our bureaux in Tokyo and New York, Monocle's editors focus on the horizon and explore the looming stories within the five areas that define our editorial agenda: global affairs, business, culture, design and consumer culture.

Hosted by editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé, The Monocle Weekly also offers fresh angles on stories in the current issue and delivers in-depth follow-ups from past assignments. Culture editor Robert Bound is a regular with his weekly playlist of artists established and obscure.

Editor Andrew Tuck pulls in contributions from our correspondents in far-flung corners and moderates debates. And from Tokyo and New York editors Fiona Wilson and Ann Marie Gardner deliver features and perspectives from Asia and the Americas.
