New Foreign Policy Magazine To Make Debut This November

A new magazine called Foreign Policy run almost exclusively by Harvard alumni and including four Harvard faculty members on its editorial board will make its first appearance around the beginning of November.

The two editors of the journal are Samuel P. Huntington, Thomas Professor of Government, and Warren D. Manshel '49, publisher of The Public Interest. Manshel was also foreign policy advisor to Eugene MeCarthy during his 1968 campaign.

"Quite clearly, the United States is moving into a new stage of foreign policy. We want to stimulate new thinking on this subject," Huntington said. Because of the attention being given domestic issues, he said, "there is a danger that perhaps foreign policy questions won't receive as much attention as they deserve."

Foreign Policy will enter a field in which another quarterly, Foreign Affairs, is already firmly established. But Richard H. Ullman '55, a member of the ten-man editorial board said, "There is room for another journal in this field, something that goes into greater depth."

"Foreign Affairs is very much an establishment journal," Huntington said. He said he hopes Foreign Policy will not be.

Manshel said the journal was founded because "Sam Huntington and I have sort of disagreed on American foreign policy over the years. The journal is sort of an outgrowth of that debate."

The magazine will define the word foreign policy in its broadest sense, Manshel said. Articles will appear on issues such as economics, ecology and international corporations as well a polities.

Manshel is financing the magazine which is published by National Affairs, Inc., a non-profit organization which also publishes The Public Interest.
