About this journal

Aims and scope

This journal has ceased (2016).

As the journal of the National Committee on American Foreign Policy ( NCAFP), American Foreign Policy Interests has been publishing provocative articles articulating American foreign policy initiatives from a nonpartisan perspective for more than 20 years. Now published by Taylor & Francis, the journal continues to elucidate and analyze, within the framework of political realism, the rapidly changing world and the serious problems confronting the United States in its foreign relations.

Timely and thought-provoking, American Foreign Policy Interests offers articles written by some of the world’s foremost experts and officials on topics of immediate interest and importance, including:

  • The global terrorist threat
  • Muslim fundamentalism and American relations with the Arab world
  • The Middle East peace process and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
  • The proliferation of biological and chemical weapons
  • Cross-straits relations between China and Taiwan
  • The conflict in Northern Ireland
  • The changing role of NATO

The journal aims to publish thought-provoking pieces on these and other matters focusing on American interests in a shifting political and economic environment, including preserving and strengthening open-society countries; improving America’s relations with the developing world; advancing human rights; curbing nuclear proliferation and extending arms control agreements; and promoting an open and global world economy.
