Yes, it looks different.

Yes, it looks different.

Starting today, the main site is transforming into a vibrant, daily online magazine of global politics, economics, and ideas. You’ll be able to read the entire January/February issue — with contributions from Nouriel Roubini, Gen. David Petraeus, and others. We’ll continue to bring you popular items like The List each week, but we’ll now have daily opinion and commentary at The Argument and a regular, online version of our provocative “Think Again” feature — plus more to come over the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, Passport will be joined by a host of new blogs. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and Fiasco author Tom Ricks will comment on military matters at The Best Defense. Harvard’s Stephen Walt, coauthor of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, will inject a dose of realism into the online political debate. Superclass author David Rothkopf will give readers an inside look at the global powerbrokers who really run the world. FP senior editor Carolyn O’Hara and a crack team of Clinton-watchers will be obsessively following all things Hillary at Madam Secretary. And a coterie of conservative foreign-policy heavyweights, including Peter Feaver, Philip Zelikow, and FP‘s newest editor — and Condoleezza Rice’s longtime speechwriter — Christian Brose, will be on hand to critique the Obama presidency at Shadow Government: Notes from the loyal opposition.

Some blogging veterans are also adding their names to our digital masthead. Daniel Drezner’s readers already know that he has brought his must-read blog on foreign policy, international economics (and occasionally the Red Sox) over to FP. Marc Lynch’s essential Middle East politics blog Abu Aardvark has also come aboard. And investigative journalist Laura Rozen will be writing The Cable, featuring original coverage, scoops, and behind-the-scenes reporting about the making of Washington’s foreign policy in the age of Obama.

We’ll also feature partnerships with the Small Wars Journal and a new column, The Call, with political forecasting by Ian Bremmer and the political risk consulting firm Eurasia Group.

So where does Passport fit in with this illustrious company? In a better position than ever to bring you the latest news and opinion from around the world. We’ll continue posting every day on topics both serious and absurd. And we’re looking forward to having the chance to interact with our new blog-mates.

We expect to learn a lot about what works and what doesn’t during this transition. As always, we invite feedback from you. We can’t imagine a better time to launch a project like this and hope that all of you will help us make the new ForeignPolicy.com a must-read.
