[RED DEMOCRATICA] The Political Power of Social Media, Why the Rich Get Richer, and More

 

Dear Reader,

The January/February 2011 issue is my first as Foreign Affairs editor, and I'm delighted to share it with you. The lead article is a major piece by new-media guru Clay Shirky on the political power of social media. From Twitter to WikiLeaks, the revolution in communications technology is at the center of public debate these days, and Clay has produced what many are saying is the single most insightful look at the subject. The piece has already generated a storm of discussion online—and we have a response from Malcolm Gladwell coming up in March/April.

Subscribe now for only $19.95 and your first issue will also include:

* Why the Rich Are Getting Richer by Robert C. Lieberman
Another piece that has already kicked up a ruckus online, this is a searing look at how Congressional policies favoring the wealthy have increased inequality in the United States.

* The Dangers of a Nuclear Iran by Eric S. Edelman, Andrew F. Krepinevich Jr, and Evan Braden Montgomery
Anybody who is complacent about Iran getting the bomb should read this scary forecast of just what such a development would mean for the Middle East and American foreign policy more generally.

* Culture Matters by Oscar Arias
Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former Costa Rican president Arias offers a passionate argument about how cultural traits are holding Latin America back.

* A Third Way to Palestine by Robert M. Danin
Read about Salam Fayyad, the Booker T. Washington of the Palestinians, and what may come of his bold new strategy for state-building on the West Bank.

The January/February issue is chock full of other great stuff too, including a debate on U.S. policy toward Afghanistan, a biting takedown of the "Global Zero" campaign for nuclear disarmament, an exploration of the exciting new developments in natural gas that could upend energy markets and geopolitics, and much, much more.

I'm really proud of this issue, and excited about what we have in the works for the months and years to come. I'm confident you'll love it too—so come join us for the ride, and let me know what you think.
