Digital Subscriptions, Bonus Content, and More

There's an old cliche about how the Chinese character for "crisis" is composed of the characters for "danger" and "opportunity." Some linguists quibble with the derivation, but frankly, it's too good a story to check. Certainly the crisis in Egypt fits the pattern: the upheaval there creates an opportunity for one of the most important countries in the Middle East to move forward towards freedom -- and the danger of a possible descent into chaos, radicalism, or even more crushing tyranny.

Where better to follow such dramatic events than Foreign Affairs, the world's leading forum for serious discussion of American foreign policy and global issues more generally? We've been publishing our print magazine since 1922. A couple of years ago we launched our Web site ForeignAffairs.com, adding new layers of timeliness, range, and interactivity to our coverage. Now we're announcing two new subscription types perfect for today's multi-platform world: Foreign Affairs Digital and Foreign Affairs Plus.

Perfect for on-the-go reading, Foreign Affairs Digital gives you full access to all ForeignAffairs.com content plus the print magazine in user-friendly PDF formats. Each digital issue is delivered directly into your online account, so you get it before it hits newsstands. Canadian and international readers will also save on shipping and handling fees. Subscribe now to Foreign Affairs Digital for only $32—and you'll get immediate access to our must-read coverage of the Egyptian crisis plus the current issue, delivered straight to your PC, tablet, or mobile device.

Frankly, though, I'm even more excited about our Plus subscription. For only $6 more a year -- only $35.95 total -- you get the print magazine (in both hard copy and digital versions), all the original content published on ForeignAffairs.com, access to all of our extraordinary archives, and an ongoing series of hand-picked editorial premiums.

Subscribe to Foreign Affairs Plus now, and I’ll send you our recent bonus collection on growing social inequality in America -- including Robert Lieberman's provocative review essay from January/February on "Why the Rich Are Getting Richer," the first chapter of Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson's powerful new book Winner-Take-All Politics: How Washington Made the Rich Richer—and Turned Its Back on the Middle Class, and two classic essays from the archives.

So subscribe to our flagship magazine, Foreign Affairs, in a print or digital version for only $29.95 -- a 50% savings off the cover price. Or, for only $1 more per issue, join the Foreign Affairs Plus subscribers who get even more exclusive editorial content, like book excerpts, white papers, and special reports.

If you're a print subscriber who would like to upgrade to Plus, email service@ForeignAffairs.customersvc.com with your request. You'll get the digital version of the March/April issue a week before the newsstands -- another blockbuster, featuring Ian Bremmer and Nouriel Roubini on a "G-Zero World," Walter Russell Mead on the Tea Party and American foreign policy, an exchange between Malcolm Gladwell and Clay Shirky on the political power of social media, and much, much more.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed. If you want to get a taste of what you're missing, just check out what we've published on the Middle East in the last few weeks alone. Subscribers even get access to these archive essays about Egypt, which includes selections by Anwar el-Sadat, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, and Fouad Ajami.

Yours,

Gideon Rose

Editor, Foreign Affairs
