• Publishing

  The Council publishes books and reports for the interested public, the academic community, and foreign policy experts. Abstracts or full text of most of these books and reports are available on the Council’s website and hard copies can be purchased at local and online bookstores. Papers, op-eds, articles, and congressional testimony, written by Council staff and published elsewhere, are also available on the website. The Council’s flagship publication is Foreign Affairs, the preeminent journal on international affairs and foreign policy.

  • Council fellows write books on timely and important policy issues, which may be published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) Press or by other trade and academic publishers. Critical Policy Choices are books designed to foster debate on key international issues by making the best case for each policy alternative in the form of a U.S. presidential speech.
  • The Council on Foreign Relations Press publishes a variety of reports each year:
    
    
    • Independent Task Force Reports are consensus documents on U.S. foreign policy developed through private and nonpartisan deliberations.
    • Council Special Reports are concise policy briefs that provide timely responses to developing crises or contributions to current policy
      dilemmas.
    • Center for Preventive Action Commission Reports are consensus documents that offer recommendations with incentives—“carrots and sticks”—to unite stakeholders and modify the behavior of key local leaders when an armed conflict or a potential conflict arises.
