Foreign Policy is a magazine of global news and ideas. We explain Washington to the world and the world to Americans—and we do that by covering big trends in not only security and defense but also issues surrounding climate change, immigration, politics, culture, and more. FP is more than just a magazine:
We have a research division that has been at the forefront of research on gender parity, climate, health, security, and more. Our podcast division is flourishing and includes successful shows I Spy, And Now the Hard Part, and Don’t Touch Your Face. FP Events convenes top leaders from government, business, and civil society for critical, timely conversations on a wide range of topics.

FP Analytics, Foreign Policy’s research and advisory division, does more than deliver in‑depth research, scenario planning, and actionable intelligence on evolving policy, markets, and technology trends — it positions public and private‑sector clients at the forefront of policy‑shaping discussions.
