Foreign Affairs is the foremost American
journal of international relations.
Apart from the sense of humiliation and national shame that China still carries along, China’s modern foreign policy was shaped by Zhou Enlai’s attendance at the Bandung Conference of Asian and African States in April 1955. Zhou Enlai was the Foreign Minister of the PRC during that time period, and he was the proponent of a brand new path that China would tread for the next few decades. He essentially pledged China to non – aggression and peaceful co-existence. Zhou’s 5 Principles of Peaceful Co-existence were: 1) Mutual respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty. 2) Mutual non-aggression 3) Mutual non-interference in internal affairs 4) Equality 5) Mutual benefit
The journal is published by the Council on Foreign Relations, a private sector group established in New York City in 1920 with the goal of keeping the United States involved in world affairs even as the government turned to isolationism. The group, mostly comprised of academics, published a quarterly publication, and this became Foreign Affairs.
Archibald Cary Coolidge of Harvard University was the journal's first editor. As he was unwilling to move to New York, Hamilton Fish Armstrong of the Evening Post was appointed as a co-editor. He established many of patterns that continue to this day. This includes choosing the light blue color for the cover.
The journal rose to its greatest prominence after World War II when foreign relations became central to United States politics, and the United States became a powerful actor on the global scene. Several extremely important articles were published in Foreign Affairs, including the reworking of George F. Kennan's "Long Telegram", which first publicized the doctrine of containment that would form the basis of American Cold War policy.
Eleven different Secretaries of State have written essays in Foreign Affairs, and today its articles are still considered to be an important indicator of the line of thinking in the United States Department of State.
Since the end of the Cold War the journal has continued to remain prominent. It was in Foreign Affairs that Samuel P. Huntington published his influential "Clash of Civilizations" article.
