Welcome to Foreign Affairs.

Our staff has put together a set of reading recommendations to help you dive more deeply into topics in the news. From how to understand the U.S.-Chinese relationship to how to understand climate change, Putin, or the legacy of the financial crisis, we have you covered.

Since 1922, we’ve been working with the world’s most insightful and influential scholars, policymakers, and leaders to deliver analysis on the most important issues shaping our collective future. While other publications are busy breaking the news, we’re busy collaborating with expert authors to put those current events in global and historical context.

We hope you’ll enjoy exploring, getting to know our work, and joining our community of readers, whose support makes our work possible. We look forward to having you with us.

Best,

The Team at Foreign Affairs
