Who We Are
Founded in 1947, The Politic — in its various incarnations — has served Yale and the larger intellectual community by providing top-notch analysis of international relations, domestic politics, strategic-military affairs, and the art of statecraft for over fifty years. We seek to effect informed discussion of not only the major issues of the day, but also the long-term development of the United States and the international system. Our contributors have included prominent heads of state, legislators, academics, and journalists; our past editors-in-chief include Robert Kagan and Fareed Zakaria. The Politic is a tradition — yet it is also an evolving publication that seeks to keep pace with the times while preserving our core values and never losing sight of our raison d‘être. Welcome to our website.
