National Interest (The)

When pundits of the op-ed pages and talk-shows speak of "The End of History" or "Geo-economics," or "The West and the Rest," they are using phrases they came across first in The National Interest.

      Founded in 1985, The National Interest is now considered to be one of the premier journals in the field of international affairs. Early on, we decided that The National Interest should not restrict itself to "foreign policy" in the narrow, technical sense, but should pay particular attention to ideas, and the way in which cultural and social differences, technological innovations, history, and religion impact the behavior of states. We also put a premium on good writing, no jargon and no stuffy "official" prose.

      In 1989, even before the Berlin Wall came down, we shaped the initial post-Cold War debate. Later we dedicated a whole issue to a searching inquiry on The Strange Death of Soviet Communism-contributors to which included not only leading specialists like Richard Pipes and Robert Conquest, but Nobel Prize winning novelist Saul Bellow.

      As well as being informative and thought provoking, The National Interest is a great read. From power politics to poetry, regional conflicts to religion, we interpret our beat rather more broadly than our competitors.
