Foreign Policy is a Washington, DC-based book and periodical publisher that publishes a magazine and maintains an online platform addressing international affairs. Founded about fifty years ago by Harvard professor Samuel Huntington and his associate, it sought to challenge conventional wisdom and present alternative viewpoints on American foreign policy—serious yet accessible. The publication transitioned from a quarterly journal to a glossy magazine under the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and expanded internationally with editions in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Its readership includes decision-makers in government, business, and finance who rely on in-depth analysis to inform policy and strategy. The organization has earned multiple National Magazine Awards for General Excellence and operates ForeignPolicy.com to reach a broad audience. In 2023, it broadened its multimedia footprint by partnering with Doha Debates to co-produce a podcast.
