Foreign Affairs

I have been buying a journal intermittently for a year so called Foreign Affairs. It is Bimonthly , in the once every two months sense of the word and consists of essays discussing foreign and international policy, primarily from an American viewpoint and with content supplied by American academics. Obviously this American slant can lead to some very Yankicentric attitudes,however it is often fascinating and always thought provoking.
My major problem with it is it is, like all academic journals, rather expensive at £8.50 a pop. So I was rather glad to discover that it is available for free online at http://www.foreignaffairs.org/. At the moment they are in the middle of a series of essays by the prospective Presidential candidates, which are well worth a read. As indeed is the entire journal, even if simply to marvel at a totally alien world view.
