'International Affairs is unique in the quality of its analysis and irreplaceable in the range of its book reviews. Without it, one simply cannot keep up.'

Martin Walker, senior scholar, Woodrow Wilson International Center for scholars, Washington DC

'International Affairs has surged to the fore among journals of serious thought and discussion about the most critical issues of today and tomorrow. Its articles regularly present the 'truth to power' that is indispensable in a world of change and challenge.'

Robert Hunter, RAND Corporation, former US Ambassador to NATO

'International Affairs is a must read for anyone serious about foreign policy, as practitioner, pundit or student. It neatly combines astute analysis with the kind of policy-relevant ideas needed by government.'

Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles KCMG LVO, HM Ambassador, Kabul

'International Affairs provides outstanding analysis of global politics. It is a journal that contributes to the foreign policy thinking within any serious political party. As a former Head of the International Economics Programme at Chatham House I contributed articles myself and valued the exposure to an informed and influential audience.'

Vincent Cable MP

'In the depth of its analysis, as much as in the range of its policy discussion, there is no journal to match International Affairs.'

Professor Fred Halliday, London School of Economics

'International Affairs has the best book review section of any journal in the field. Many people subscribe to it for that reason alone.'

Sir Michael Howard
