For a little over a century, Foreign affairs magazine has been the house journal not only of the Council on Foreign Relations, which publishes it, but of the United States foreign policy establishment as whole.
It is not only read by people who shape US Foreign policy, but written by then.
Since its launch in 1922, Foreign affairs has published essays and book reviews by presidents, generals and ambassadors.
Foreign Affairs Executive editor Justin Vogt spoke to Monaco's Andrew Muller at the recent GlobeSack forum in Prague.
The place which it seems the obvious one to start, I guess.

The last two and a half years have been a bit of a golden era for reader interest in foreign policy.
Have you noticed a spike in online or offline readership of Foreign affairs?
Absolutely.
Since 2022.
You know, the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
And this happens periodically, right.
There are crises and crises sort of drive reader engagement and reader interest.
