Dear Educator,
As China is rising, it is evolving. While the extent of its internal political liberalization is still an open question, China's military and economic power is turning the existing international order on its head. A special section in the January/February Foreign Affairs issue examines the changing role of this superpower. Also in this issue, presidential hopeful — and surprise winner in Iowa — Mike Huckabee contributes to our Campaign 2008 series with his essay, "America's Priorities in the War on Terror."

Kenya's Great Rift
Violence has engulfed Kenya in the wake of a disputed December 27 election, calling into question the country's reputation as an island of stability and prosperity in an otherwise unstable region. In this update to his January/February 2004 Foreign Affairs essay "Kenya After Moi," CSIS Senior Associate Joel D. Barkan analyzes the flawed election process and proposes a federalist solution to remedy the ethnic tensions that lie beneath Kenya's current political crisis.
