This reader contains a sample of the best essays published in the foreign policy quarterly. The National Interest during its first four years.

The essays in this volume examine the basic and enduring questions of international politics and the national security of the United States. These and related issues are discussed in the reader by leading American policymakers, academics, and commentators. Co-published with The National Interest.
