Foreign Affairs. January-February 2020

January/February 2020

“Foreign Affairs... will tolerate wide differences of opinion. Its articles will not represent any consensus
of beliefs. What is demanded of them is that they shall be competent and well informed, representing honest
opinions seriously held and convincingly expressed.... It does not accept responsibility for the views in any
articles, signed or unsigned, which appear in its pages. What it does accept is the responsibility for giving
them a chance to appear.”
Archibald Cary Coolidge, Founding Editor
Volume 1, Number 1 • September 1922
