This volume brings together a broad range of Foreign Affairs content to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Samuel Huntington’s classic article “The Clash of Civilizations?” Huntington’s essay argued that culture, rather than ideology or geopolitics, would be the driving source of international conflict in the post-Cold War era. It struck a nerve because it raised important and uncomfortable subjects in direct and powerful ways. Two decades on, the jury is still hung, with critics and defenders passionately arguing the piece’s merits and demerits, agreeing only on its enduring significance both as a marker of its times and a theoretical perspective that demands serious engagement. We believe that readers should make up their own minds about how well his argument does and doesn’t hold up. So we’ve pulled together the original article; a broad range of responses from prominent commentators; Huntington’s response to his critics; a recent retrospective analysis by Richard Betts; eulogies of Huntington from Stephen Peter Rosen, Eliot Cohen, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and Henry Rosovsky; and a video of a celebration of Huntington’s career featuring reminiscences from some of his students, including Cohen, Francis Fukuyama, and Fareed Zakaria. An introduction by Foreign Affairs Editor Gideon Rose sets the stage for the debates that follow.

It’s probably fair to say that most practitioners and general readers find little of interest or value in most contemporary academic work in the social sciences, and that most social scientists are either unconcerned by such attitudes or attribute them to the failings of the consumers, not the producers. However, we here at Foreign Affairs—responsible for running a forum for policymakers, scholars, and general readers alike—believe strongly that intellectual rigor, practical relevance, and accessible presentation are not mutually exclusive. We believe, in fact, that when done right, they are actually mutually reinforcing. In Masters of IR, we’ve decided to gather together a few of our most recent articles from some of the leading lights in international relations, showing just how the gap between scholars and policymakers can and should be bridged. The collection features Francis Fukuyama, John Ikenberry, Joseph Nye, Robert Keohane, and Fareed Zakaria on the future of history, liberalism, and America. Stephen Brooks, John Ikenberry, and William Wohlforth debate Barry Posen on U.S. grand strategy. Kenneth Waltz, Robert Jervis, and Richard Betts all chime in on Iran. Graham Allison discusses nuclear weapons, and Michael Walzer, David Campbell, and Robert Putnam talk humanitarianism and religion. Masters of IR also offers an introductory chapter by Foreign Affairs editor Gideon Rose.

After Chairman Mao's death in 1976, China began a series of reforms that eventually got its economy humming and its society buzzing. These led to a gradual process of liberalization during the 1980s that culminated in a series of protests at Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989. Fearing for its own survival, the communist regime cracked down, deciding to suppress the protests and keep power at all costs. A decade later, we at Foreign Affairs were able to publish, for the first time, a trove of secret documents showing why China's leaders opted for violence at Tiananmen Square that fateful June. Now, 25 years after the protests, we are delighted to bring you Tiananmen and After, which includes those documents along with expert commentary on what happened back in June 1989, what it meant, and how China has-and hasn't-changed since then. The arguments presented span the ideological spectrum, and the authors include a range of leading experts from several disciplines and countries, including Elizabeth Economy, Evan Feigenbaum, Yasheng Huang, Robert Kaplan, Eric Li, Damien Ma, Andrew Nathan, Lynette Ong, Lucian Pye, John Thornton, Cui Tiankai, and more.

Tiananmen and After

Ever since the United States invaded Iraq in 2003, the questions about what would follow Saddam and what role the United States would play in Iraq’s ultimate destiny have been controversial and hotly debated. At Foreign Affairs, we’ve been at the center of those debates and now, as Iraq slides back into chaos following the American withdrawal, are in the thick of things again.  To help you understand today’s headlines, we’ve pulled together the best of our coverage in a new eBook, Endgame in Iraq. The arguments presented span every significant position on the political spectrum, and the authors include world-renowned experts from several disciplines, backgrounds, and countries, including Stephen Biddle, Antony J. Blinken, Dalia Dassa Kaye, Andrew F. Krepinevich, Barak Mendelsohn, Vali Nasr, Michael E. O’Hanlon, Meghan L. O’Sullivan, Ned Parker, Kenneth M. Pollack, Harith al-Qarawee, Steven Simon, Emma Sky, and Micah Zenko.  With Iraq’s fate once again hanging in the balance, there’s no better way to figure out how we got here and what will come next.

Endgame in Iraq

When the latest round of Middle East peace talks collapsed earlier this year, experienced observers knew that it was only a matter of time before the Israeli-Palestinian conflict blew up once again. And sure enough, a few weeks later, it did—in Gaza. The war has died down since then, but this is a story without a happy ending—another chapter in a never-ending struggle.  We’ve brought together high-level commentary by our authors to provide the context, background, and forward-looking analysis that you need to understand the issues involved. The arguments presented span the political spectrum, and the authors include world-renowned experts from several disciplines, backgrounds, and countries, including Benedetta Berti, Daniel Byman, Thanassis Cambanis, Robert Danin, Zack Gold, Michael Herzog, Hussein Ibish, Martin Indyk, Barak Mendelsohn, Ariel Ilan Roth, Barry Rubin, and Khalil Shikaki.  We give you everything you need to understand the world today—not just the news but the context and intellectual tools to interpret it properly.

Clueless in Gaza

At Foreign Affairs we’ve published a ton of great content in 2014, and we’ve picked out ten of our favorite articles from the print edition and ten from the web to show you just what we’ve been up to over the last year.  Highlights include “Capital Punishment,” in which Tyler Cowen explains why French economist Thomas Piketty’s book on economic inequality is brilliant but fundamentally flawed. “Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault,” John Mearsheimer’s blockbuster article on Washington and its European allies’ responsibility for the Ukraine crisis, will make you rethink your opinion of recent Russian behavior. In “Meet Pakistan’s Lady Cadets,” Aeyliya Husain offers an eye-opening account of a small group of women making its way through the Pakistan Military Academy. Finally, Hamas is only the latest in a long line of groups to use tunnels to wage war. In “Notes from the Underground,” Arthur Herman writes that there’s no way to know how long drones and the like will last. But as long as there is warfare, tunnels will almost certainly be part of the fight.  We hope you enjoy the collection and come back for more in 2015.

The Best of 2014

So much is going on that it is hard to get a handle on it all, let alone to tie things together neatly in a simple framework. But at Foreign Affairs, we have been carefully tracking the emergence and debating the significance of this “new global context,” as the World Economic Forum puts it, in real time. So we decided that it would be useful to put together this special collection as background reading for the Forum’s 2015 Annual Meeting. Drawn from the pages of our print magazine and the pixels of our website, the articles gathered here trace major recent geopolitical events and debates from a broad range of expert perspectives. They give you the information and argumentation you need to make up your own mind about what truly matters, why, and what might come next.
