National Interest editorial board walks outWASHINGTON, March 31, 2005 -- Most of the editorial board resgned at the major right-of-center foreign policy journal in the United States, The National Interest. Departing board members said that staff editors were taking the journal into in a narrow ideological niche and rarely consulted the editorial board. Board member Francis Fukuyama, a political econmist at Johns Hopkins University, said the ideological shift began in 2001 when the media conglomerate Hollinger International withdraw as a financial backer. That left the financial base of the journal with only the Nixon Center, whose honorary chair is former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
The problem, said Fukuyama, is that Kissingerian realism is reshaping The National Interest. "It seems only a matter of time before the magazine reflects a single point of view." At the journal, however, new editor Nikolas Gvosdev said The National Interest is committed to debate. Gvisdev noted that Fujuyama himself recently had a piece in the journal that challenged neoconservatism with realist arguments. Gvosdev said he was puzzled at the charge that the editorial board had been snubbed. He said five board members had work in the journal in recent issues. |
