Justin Brown

Justin Brown is Silicon Canals' Chief Publisher. He holds a Master of Science in Global Economic History from the London School of Economics (Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Global Studies) and a Master of Arts in International Relations from the Australian National University, where he was awarded the Hedley Bull Scholarship and graduated with First Class Honours.

His writing focuses on power structures, institutional incentives, and the gap between corporate narrative and corporate behaviour — applied across regulation, capital flows, surveillance, and the politics of innovation. He co-founded Brown Brothers Media, the parent company that publishes Silicon Canals, and is based in Singapore.

As Chief Publisher, Justin carries editorial responsibility for everything that ships on Silicon Canals. He reviews columns and writers' work before publication and stands behind the standards on this site.
