The project of European integration has always been a dream spurred by a nightmare. To escape the continent's volatile, bloody past, the argument ran, European countries needed to bind themselves together and forge a harmonious common future. In fits and starts, to varying degrees on varying issues, this project has managed to achieve extraordinary success over the past seven decades, enabling Europe to reach levels of peace and prosperity at which previous generations could only have marveled. But the endeavor has always been more popular with elites than with the masses, has lurched from crisis to crisis, and has struggled to deal with the differences that keep Europe's disparate parts from forming a seamless whole. "Foreign Affairs" has been covering the effort closely from the beginning, and as the Greek crisis comes to a head, we've decided to pull together highlights of our analysis of the quest for economic union in particular. This collection provides an unparalleled look at the past, present, and future of Europe's common currency, showcasing more than two dozen of the world's leading experts on European economics and politics to help you better understand the story behind the headlines.

Foreign Affairs and its parent organization, the Council on Foreign Relations, were founded in the early 1920s by veterans of the Woodrow Wilson administration’s diplomatic and military efforts. Shocked by the country’s turn to isolationism in the wake of the Great War, they followed with increasing dread the world’s march toward yet another conflict during the 1930s. The pages of the magazine tracked the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, the growing conquests of imperial Japan, the stirrings of military preparedness in Washington, and ultimately the most devastating conflagration the globe has ever seen.Seventy-five years after the United States entered that war, we offer this collection to showcase all that remarkable coverage, giving today’s readers a taste of how things looked to knowledgeable observers watching events in real time.

Ever since its founding in 1947, India has prompted both lofty expectations and frequent disappointment about its economic potential and international role. But given turbulence around the world, challenges in India's own region, and growth and dynamism within India itself, the question of where the country goes from here has never mattered more than it does now, 70 years after its violent birth. Understanding its course demands analysis of not just the forces of India's present but also the forces of its past. At Foreign Affairs, we have been charting India's successive transformations from the beginning. Give this collection a read to understand how the world's most populous country will impact the future of Asia, geopolitics, and the global economy.

After a decade of economic crises and political turmoil, stalled halfway between national and regional sovereignty, Europe is no longer sailing proudly forward but drifting aimlessly close to dangerous shoals. To provide intellectual context in this time of choosing, as Europe looks to either continue or abandon its quest for ever-greater collaboration and openness, we offer this collection devoted to three of the continent's crucial interlocking challenges-immigration, terrorism, and populist nationalism. Europe has absorbed large numbers of refugees from Syria and other countries in recent years, experienced repeated devastating terrorist attacks, and turned inward as a result. Foreign Affairs has been tracking each of these issues in real time, and we gather the best of our coverage here for handy reference.

Foreign Affairs brings you its best coverage of the year. We have Fareed Zakaria on where populism will take the West, John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt making the case for offshore balancing, Mark Blyth on why President-elect Donald Trump was 30 years in the making, and much, much more.

After the election of Donald Trump to the presidency, there were wide expectations that the market would respond negatively to his unexpected victory. And yet stock markets rose globally and remain up today. Bond markets have not unwound as predicted, and overall, business as usual seems to be the order of the day in global finance. In an age of political turbulence, the financial world, at least, seems rather stable. This special Foreign Affairs' anthology examines whether, despite this surface calm, the geopolitics of finance has shifted over the last decade, given the near collapse of the world's banking systems and the rise of populists and nationalists all eager to change the status quo in one way or another. What might be the fault lines in the financial world that could precipitate another crisis, and possible realignments, in the global monetary order? Read this special collection to find out.

Trade policy is one of the hottest issues of the 2016 election, but throughout the campaign, the level of discussion about it has been abysmally low. This collection is designed to correct that, offering readers everything they need to understand the relevant facts and arguments and make informed decisions for themselves about what should be done in this crucial arena.

The book explores the transformative impact of emerging technologies such as social media, robotics, and synthetic biology on society, businesses, and governance. It serves as a background reading for the World Economic Forum's 2016 Annual Meeting, focusing on the challenges and opportunities presented by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. By examining the interplay of these innovations, it highlights the need for adaptation and mastery in a rapidly changing world.

This work seeks to answer the question that arose in the aftermath of the 11th September terrorist attacks on America: How did this happen? The contributors examine the motives and actions of the terrorists, the status of the US military, the context of the Middle East, airport security, and diplomatic pressures. the book provides readers with an accessible account of the issues that led to the crisis - not as a symposium of opinion, but as a series of narratives on different aspects of the situation.
