American Foreign Policy Interests

A major purpose of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy (NCAFP) is to stimulate informed interest in and concern for the serious problems confronting the United States in its foreign relations. Consequently, a distinguishing activity of the NCAFP is the presentation of firm and reasoned positions on specific issues.

As the journal of the NCAFP, American Foreign Policy Interests has been publishing provocative articles articulating American foreign policy initiatives from a nonpartisan perspective for more than 20 years. Now published by Taylor & Francis, the journal continues to elucidate and analyze, within the framework of political realism, the rapidly changing world and the serious problems confronting the United States in its foreign relations.

Timely and thought-provoking, American Foreign Policy Interests offers articles written by some of the world's foremost experts and officials on topics of immediate interest and importance, including:

• The global terrorist threat
  
• Muslim fundamentalism and American relations with the Arab world
  
• The Middle East peace process and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
  
• The proliferation of biological and chemical weapons
  
• Cross-Strait relations between China and Taiwan
  
• The conflict in Northern Ireland
  
• The changing role of NATO

The journal aims to publish thought-provoking pieces on these and other matters focusing on American interests in a shifting political and economic environment, including preserving and strengthening open-society countries; improving America's relations with the developing world; advancing human rights; curbing nuclear proliferation and extending arms control agreements; and promoting an open and global world economy.

Each issue of the journal contains several full-length articles on critical issues affecting America's foreign policy and security decisions, provocative editorials that present the NCAFP position on national interest issues, regular book reviews, and a foreign policy crossword puzzle. Subscribers will also periodically receive the NCAFP Supplement Publications booklet.
