Foreign Policy was founded in 1970 by Samuel Huntington and Warren Demian Manshel. Huntington hoped it would be “serious but not scholarly, lively but not glib.” In 2000, under the ownership of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Foreign Policy transitioned from a quarterly journal to a magazine.

In 2008, Foreign Policy was purchased by the Graham Holdings Company, then called The Washington Post Company. The publication launched international editions in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. Foreign Policychanged its name to The FP Group in 2012 to include ForeignPolicy.com and FP Events.

In December 2013, FP expanded and modernized ForeignPolicy.com as part of a complete website redesign.The new, more responsive site presents FP''s readers with a dramatically expanded array of editorial features and tools to help them get the information they want with the least amount of effort.
