The text formats range from analytical essays to reports to miscommunication . A specialty are controversial "round table" debates between two authors each (including Orhan Pamuk , Paul Wolfowitz or Craig Venter ).

Political location
Prospect does not commit itself to any “line” on any particular political issue. It is considered left liberal and pro-European and gladly challenged folk wisdom ( "popular wisdom") .
