About Foreign Policy Journal
Foreign Policy Journal is an online publication dedicated to providing critical analysis of U.S. foreign policy outside of the standard framework offered by government officials and the mainstream corporate media. FPJ offers readers a collection of headlines from the U.S. and international media, including both mainstream and alternative sources, as well as original news, analysis, and commentary from perspectives all too lacking in the public debate on key foreign policy issues.
FPJ is particularly focused on the U.S. "war on terrorism" that was declared following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and U.S. policies in the Middle East and Central Asia. FPJ scrutinizes events in and policies towards Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, Israel, and the Palestinian occupied territories to present a clearer picture to its readers of events and how the regions are affected by U.S. policies.
The FPJ homepage is designed to be your one-stop source for information on U.S. international relations with that focus in mind. Here you'll find links to important headlines and news stories from around the web, as well as original news, analysis, and commentary. By offering focused content on important events and issues around the globe, FPJ readers are better and more conveniently able to gain different perspectives on events in the news at the touch of a fingertip.
Research Archive
The research archive is a place where you can find key references valuable to any student or observer of U.S. foreign policy, as well as other archived material ranging from important news stories to declassified government documents. It is a collection of source materials used for FPJ content, but also intended as a resource to researchers, writers, or anyone looking for information on topics or issues related to foreign policy. A further goal is to archive material that might otherwise disappear from the web so that it will continue to be available for research purposes.
Multimedia
FPJ also provides multimedia resources, such as news and recommended documentary films and videos.
