“Foreign Affairs” Readers bring together important essays first published in “Foreign Affairs.” We include a variety of articles, serving different purposes. Some may be pieces of reportage, others may strongly argue a specific point of view, still others may be statesmen’s memoirs. Each volume presents a structured, focused set of our best essays on a specific topic. Both the topic and the essays have been chosen with a particular purpose in mind – classroom use. Most of the essays advance a thesis or provide important information that is likely to stimulate students to think and discuss the broader subject. Some are current, others were written a while ago. The latter are included because the arguments they advance are still crucial to understanding the issues. In “War in the Balkans,” various contributors have submitted the following The Last Ambassador ~ Invitation to War ~ How to Defeat Serbia ~ America, a European Power ~ Making Peace with the Guilty ~ Heading Off War in the Southern Balkans ~ The Triage of Dayton ~ Imagining Kosovo ~ Is Kosovo Real? The Debate ~ The New Interventionism ~ Kosovo’s Next Masters?
