- This article is about a journal. See foreign affairs (disambiguation) for other uses.
Foreign Affairs is an American journal of international relations.
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, which 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 and established many of patterns that continue to this day.
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.
Since the end of the Cold War, and especially after September 11, 2001, the journal's readership has grown significantly. It was in Foreign Affairs that Samuel P. Huntington published his influential "Clash of Civilizations" article.
In November/December 2003 issue of Foreign Affairs, Kenneth Maxwell wrote a review of Peter Kornbluh's book The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability, which gave rise to a controversy about Henry Kissinger's relationship to the regime of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and to operation Condor. Maxwell claims that key Council on Foreign Relations members, acting at Kissinger's, behest put pressure on Foreign Affairs editor, James Hoge, to give the last word in a subsequent exchange about the review to William D. Rogers, a close associate of Kissinger's, rather than to Maxwell; this went against established Foreign Affairs policy.
The immediate past Managing Editor of Foreign Affairs was Fareed Zakaria, now the Editor of Newsweek International. The current Managing Editor is Gideon Rose, an expert on international conflict and the Middle East.
