The National Interest is a prominent quarterly international affairs journal, founded in 1985 by Irving Kristol and currently published by the Nixon Center. The National Interest is not restricted in content to “foreign policy” in the narrow, technical sense, but attempts to pay attention to broad ideas, and the way in which cultural and social differences, technological innovations, history, and religion impact the behavior of states. It is often critical of positions taken by its rival journal, Foreign Affairs, which many see as reflecting the dominant position within the U.S. State Department.
