Taking Powdered Peanut Butter to the World

In 2013, Reid Edgar had become a fan of powdered peanut butter, but there were a few things about the emerging category that didn’t impress the Atlanta native.  For one, the flavors lacked ingenuity. But the bigger problem was why: Little competition meant that the top producer had no reason to innovate.  Powdered peanut butter is basically […]

Peachtree City Founder Brings Community Thinking to Kurdish Refugee Camps

To compare the pristine beauty of Peachtree City with a refugee camp in Iraqi Kurdistan requires a leap of imagination few can make, but one that is prompting Joel Cowan, the Fayette County city’s founder, and a few colleagues to take seriously. On the one hand you have tree lined roadways, more than 100 miles of […]

Emory Professor: No Simple Answers in Middle East Issues, Foreign Policy

If there’s one thing Emory University Professor Kenneth Stein is emphatic about, it’s that foreign policy is hitting closer to home than ever before.  The problem is that the U.S. is less equipped to deal with the realities of a changing world, and simple answers are hard to come by, especially in the region he studies — […]

No Public Progress on Delta’s Request to Look Into Qatar Airways Deal

At least on the surface, Delta Air Lines didn’t get its wish this week for a yet another critical review of an aviation pact between the U.S. and Qatar, which the Atlanta-based carrier said is still being abused by Qatar’s state-run airline.  Civil aviation delegations from both sides met on the sidelines of a high-level strategic […]

Qatar Airways: Delta’s Bitter Enemy, Gulfstream’s Model Customer 

While one Georgia aviation giant is locked in a bitter feud with Qatar Airways, another is lauding the Middle Eastern carrier as an exemplary customer.  Days after Atlanta’s Delta Air Lines Inc. reignited a conflict with Qatar Airways over government subsidies, Savannah-based Gulfstream Aerospace announced it had delivered its first two G500 business jets to the […]

Delta Fires New Salvo in Qatar Airways Feud, This Time Over Italy Routes 

Delta Air Lines Inc. has fired a new salvo in an ongoing battle with Middle Eastern air carrier Qatar Airways, reigniting a conflict a year after the two sides reached a fragile ceasefire.  At issue this time is Qatar’s 49 percent stake in Italy’s Meridiana, which has been rebranded to Air Italy and is now […]

Our 18 Most-Read Stories of 2018

As editors, gauging audience interest is never a science, and we face often the unenviable task of writing about the things we feel our readers should know, not what they necessarily want. I liken it often to offering health vegetables to someone who’d rather eat candy.  Global Atlanta has long been concerned with the mechanics […]

Hapag-Lloyd Deal Reveals Georgia’s New Openness to Foreign Mergers

German shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd’s plan to hire more than 360 new people at a Gwinnett customer service center may seem like a standard foreign investment, but a deeper look shows it results in part from a shift in approach toward mergers and acquisitions in Georgia.  The deal is the latest and perhaps one of the most […]
