World Affairs Journal

World Affairs is an international affairs digital publication that argues the big ideas behind US foreign policy. Always striving to encourage open and informed debate, we are committed to offering our readers a healthy range of perspective and opinion to help clarify the challenges and choices that America faces in our increasingly complex and dangerous world. Our essays — occasionally unruly, seldom dull, and always edifying — feature conservatives alongside liberals, and others who transcend categories. This variety makes for some of the best conversation available online.

WorldAffairsJournal.org also highlights news, opinion, and research from media, governments, and think tanks around the world. The unique news offerings allow the reader, on any given day and with any given headline, to see how the same news is reported differently in important media outlets around the globe. WorldAffairsJournal.org blogs are written by leading opinion makers and commentators from the US as well as Europe, the Middle East, and Russia — some of them dissident voices within their own political culture.
