History
Foreign Policy was founded in late 1970 by Samuel P. Huntington, professor of Harvard University, and his friend Warren Demian Manshel to give a voice to alternative views about American foreign policy at the time of the Vietnam War.<ref name="Samuel Huntington, 1927-2008"/><ref>Template:Cite webTemplate:Cbignore</ref> Huntington hoped it would be "serious but not scholarly, lively but not glib".<ref name="Samuel Huntington, 1927-2008">Template:Cite news</ref>
In early 1978, after six years of close partnership, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace acquired full ownership of Foreign Policy. In 2000, a format change was implemented from a slim quarterly academic journal to a bimonthly magazine. It also launched international editions in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America.
In September 2008, Foreign Policy was bought by The Washington Post Company (now Graham Holdings Company).<ref name="FP purchased by WaPo">Template:Cite news</ref> In 2012, Foreign Policy grew to become the FP Group—an expansion of Foreign Policy magazine to include ForeignPolicy.com and FP Events.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Style
According to its submission guidelines, Foreign Policy articles "strike the balance" between informed specialist research and general readability, and tend to be written in plain rather than "wonky" language.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
Editorial stance
Foreign Policy endorsed Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election. This was the first time in its 50-year history the magazine endorsed a candidate.<ref name="foreign">Template:Cite news</ref>
