Welcome from the Editors

Dear Readers:

Over the next month or so, we hope that this website will become a venue for vigorous debate, discussion, and reflection on the most pressing questions of American politics and international relations. Our next print issue will be published in January 2010, but we intend to update this site regularly, to assure that our materials are available to the public when they are most relevant — not when they have become outdated.

Thus over the next few weeks, the website will be relatively bare. But in due time, as more and more articles are posted — both new pieces and some of our more interesting older pieces — and our blog becomes active, this website should become a vibrant place where the engaged reader can find a wealth of stimulating material on a regular basis.

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you return often.

All best,

Edward Fishman & Mathew Andrews
Editors-in-Chief
