Read Foreign Affairs instead |
This magazine tries to be a sexier version of Foreign Affairs but instead comes across as her dumber, louder, and more ideological sister.
Largely reporting on the foreign policy opinions, positions, and prejudices of the American center-left, this is not the place to see balanced and deep treatment of complicated foreign policy matters. Instead you find it filled with sound bite facts, huge two page spreads of unimportant statistics and surveys, and a few short works that give you serious foreign policy analysis. However, it is this last bunch that motivates me to subscribe to these magazines, and they aren't as good, long, or varied as they are in Foreign Affairs.
Nevertheless, these few articles are typically decent, and the "Think Again" section usually has a piece of unconventional wisdom. The quality of writing is good, and finally the layout and photographs are attractively printed on high quality paper.
I'd buy this if I'd already read the recent Foreign Affairs and they had a copy of Foreign Policy at the news stand in the airport, but I wouldn't subscribe again without hearing they'd gone through serious editorial changes. |

Best foreign policy magazine there is. |
This is an excellent magazine that will educate its readers and improve the breadth of their worldview. The magazine covers a range of topics in each issue, with multiple viepoints represented. The articles are written by professors, heads of state and other qualified people, and deliver plenty of knowledge, information and analysis without being too dry, long or boring. The writing is clear and concise, free of jargon that would daze the average person. The graphs and photos are also good for illustrating the main points of the articles. The magazine does not have an agenda to push, and represents multiple sides, frequently having sections where several qualified people comment on the topic, and go back and forth with rebuttles to provide a blanaced and broad coverage.
If you want to know what is going on in the world, step up to Foreign Policy. |

On Par With The Economist and Better Than Foreign Affairs Journal! |
I'm happy that I ordered a subscription to this magazine as it not only matches, but surpasses the content provided in the Foreign Affairs Journal. The student discount rate I received (at the official foreign policy website) has the most reasonable price. Each new issue of FP contains a barrage of perspectives on numerous topics that are very relevant today. Photos, graphs, and charts also help to breathe life into each article and helped me to better grasp the content presented.
This content is also available to subscribers online, with the addition of "web exclusives" and a "FP Blog." I haven't been this happy with a magazine subscription since I first subscribed to The Economist. Well worth the investment of time and money required to read each and every article as it acts as an outstanding supplement to anyone's current subscription to The Economist or Foreign Affairs Journal. Like myself, you won't be disappointed! |

Very interesting and enjoyable to read. As a student of political science and international relations, this is a great way to keep updated about the current issues and problems in the international arena. It is not dry or boring. |

Still a worthwhile investment, in spite of decline |
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. |
