 As good as Foreign Affairs, but with pictures too :) March 17, 2003

I am a big fan of Foreign Affairs magazine to which I have subscribed for five years. I find Foreign Policy to be very interesting as well, and I find that there is not usually an overlap of information between the two - rather they seem to supplement each other. Whereas Foreign Affairs is comprised of articles contributed from a variety of sources - politicians, professors, economists, ambassadors, etc - Foreign Policy is written somewhat more like a traditional news magazine, in that it deals with current issues - but like no other. The coverage is very in-depth, more along the lines of news coverage in the Economist or Foreign Affairs. I enjoy the area studies in this magazine, as well as the format in general. I find that I pick up FP and read it very quickly - the photographs are always well-done, unusual shots, and the use of graphs and charts (often to compare ways of life in one aspect or another between countries) make FP more easy to browse. I enjoy the internet news section, and sections such as Read Between the Lines and Think Again (like a transcript of a debate session for a given argument). I also enjoy the sociological tilt that this magazine has - it differentiates itself from other political and news magazines.
FP Deserves Its Excellent Reputation June 4, 2004

FP is published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Articles in the current issue (May-June 2004) are about al Quaeda, world trade in small arms, selling to the world's four billion poor people and American public opinion on Iraq, terrorism, North Korea and free trade.There are also articles on such subjects as saving endangered species and a comparison of Kerry and Bush on foreign policy. FP is marking the second anniversary of the magazine's ambitious attempt to rank the world's 21 rich countries on "how their policies help or hinder social and economic development in poor countries." First place on this year's report card goes to the Netherlands while the United States is ranked seventh.There are still other articles plus reviews and a lively letters section. The latter is devoted solely to reactions to an earlier article by Samuel Huntington on the impact on the United States from Hispanic immigration. The contributors include mostly academics with a sprinkling of journalists and other professionals. Some of the recent writers are Allen J. Hammond, C.K. Prahalad, Jason Burke, Steven Kull, Kenneth Rogoff, Minxin Pei, Tamar Jacoby and Patrick Buchanan. The articles cover timely topics and they are written in a highly readable style. The reader does not necessarily have to be an academic to enjoy this publication. FP definitely deserves its reputation for excellence.
 Still a worthwhile investment, in spite of decline August 25, 2005

Foreign Policy magazine is not what it once was. Authoritative, well argumented and thought out articles are incrasingly giving way to collections of "Did you knows", short pieces which try to include more wit than substance, and statistics for readers to gawk at, rather than to give context and meaning. FP is trying to be more like Time or Newsweek and is not getting any better for it.
In spite of this, I still feel a subscription can be a worthwhile investment. The reason for this is the access to FP's online article archives going back some 40 years. Seeing what analisys was coming out at the time, without the luxury of hindsight gives quite a bit of insight into the zeitgeist of the foreign policy establishment of the time and is a good resource for research.

Foreign Affairs is published by the Council on Foreign Affairs and is widely considered an authoritative journal of policy making. It's a very fine resource. Foreign Policy too combines interesting content with nice visual layouts but lacks the content of the Economist or Foreign Affairs. ...
 Beware of the Council on Foreign Relations November 21, 2001

The articles in Foreign Policy are insighting in that they inform those who are "politically aware" of what those in power are thinking. This magazine is published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a New York-Washington Think Tank . The purpose of the think tank is to communicate a certain international focus of our foreign policy, hence the name of the magazine. If you are a conspiracy nut, you will love this magazine. You will spend hours reading into each paragraph. If you are a more rational American, the views presented from those on both the right and left will be interesting and thought provoking.
