Foreign Affairs Academic Update
Published by the Council on Foreign Relations

Dear Educator,

According to Samuel Huntington's 1993 Foreign Affairs article The Clash of Civilizations, world politics is entering a new phase, in which the great divisions among humankind and the dominating source of international conflict will be cultural.

In our January/February issue of Foreign Affairs, Dominique Moïsi argues that the world faces today not only a clash of civilizations but also a Clash of Emotions.

In this edition:

  • Highlights in the New Issue
  • Faculty Spotlight — Professor Katy Crossley-Frolick
  • The Foreign Affairs Year In Books
  • Search Foreign Affairs by Region and Issue

Best,
James F. Hoge, Jr.

Inside the new issue

The Clash of Emotions

By Dominique Moïsi, Senior Adviser at the Institut Francais des Relations Internationales (IFRI) in Paris.

The world is divided — not just by politics or culture, but by fear, humiliation, and hope.

Saving Afghanistan

By Barnett R. Rubin, Director of Studies & a Senior Fellow at NYU's Center on International Cooperation.

There's still a chance to save Afghanistan — but only if Western powers increase their commitment and crack down on Pakistan.
