Dear Educator:
As the new semester begins, I want to take a moment to remind you of the Web-only essays and research tools available on ForeignAffairs.com. Syllabus staples like "The Sources of Soviet Conduct" to "Clash of Civilizations?" are available free to subscribers, and nicely formatted PDF reprints cost only $.99 to download. In addition to the classic articles from the archives, ForeignAffairs.com is a rich source for contemporary case studies and analysis to help facilitate classroom discussion:
• In his Postscript, "An Uncertain Reset," Dimitri K. Simes asks "Can the United States and Russia find a common language?"
• "Obama's Honduras Problem" Michael Shifter's Snapshot lays out in short form everything you need to know about the U.S./Latin America relationship since the coup.
• "An Agenda for NATO" Zbigniew Brzezinski's article in the September/October issue is a fresh look at an alliance that is more than a half century old.
One of the most popular features on the site are the Reading Lists, which are annotated reading lists by experts in their fields like Shannon O'Neil's "What to Read on Mexican Politics," Eliot A. Cohen's "What to Read on Fighting Insurgencies," and Jeffrey Kopstein's "What to Read on Transatlantic Relations." With detailed summaries, these lists are like personal syllabi and are a terrific place for students to begin researching a new topic. It is our hope that they will inspire deeper discussion and analysis on current issues amongst faculty and students alike.
As always, we like to hear your feedback about the tools that are successful for you and what you'd like to see on the Foreign Affairs website. E-mail us with your thoughts.
Best,
James F. Hoge, Jr.
