The Best of 2014

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.
