I see that 'Foreign Affairs' has a new Editor. That's a good promotion. Good for him.
<Dear Reader,
After 18 years, my time with Foreign Affairs draws to a close. The Nov/Dec 2010 issue marks the end of my tenure as the fifth editor in the magazine's 90-year history. My successor is managing editor Gideon Rose, who brings with him a wealth of knowledge and a passionate commitment to the magazine and Web site.
Foreign Affairs has a rich history of articles penned by experts and leaders of varying backgrounds, political affiliations, and schools of thought. Below are some of my favorites from the last two decades, many as relevant now as when they were first published. These articles—and 50 years of online archives—are available for subscribers at www.ForeignAffairs.com. Subscribe now for only $19.95 to receive one year of issues plus access to articles such as:
* "The Tiananmen Papers" (Jan/Feb 2001) by Andrew Nathan
Hitherto secret documents reveal the inner workings of China's Communist Party leadership during the Tiananmen Square crisis of 1989. They detail what China's leaders knew at each stage of the events and who made the fateful decision to send in the troops.
* "Competitiveness: A Dangerous Obsession" (Mar/Apr 1994) by Paul Krugman
Viewing countries as competing with each other just like business is wrong and dangerous.
* "When the Shiites Rise" (Jul/Aug 2006) by Vali Nasr
By toppling Saddam Hussein, the Bush Administration liberated and empowered Iraq's Shiite majority, and has helped launch a broad Shiite revival that will upset the sectarian balance in Iraq and the Middle East for years to come.
* "The Payoff From Women's Rights" (May/Jun 2004) by Isobel Coleman
Backing women's rights in developing countries isn't just good ethics, it's also sound economics. Couching women's rights in economic terms might even overcome the resistance of conservative Muslim countries that have long balked at gender equality.
And topping any list is "The Clash of Civilizations?" by Samuel Huntington (Summer 1993), the defining argument that the dominating source of post-Cold War conflict will be cultural. Subscribe and you also receive a digital reprint of The Clash of Civilizations?: The Debate absolutely free. This anthology includes Huntington's article plus commentary and responses that it inspired.
