Arriving Sept. 2026: The Fall Issue

What happens when the rules stop working? As global norms erode and the institutions that once upheld them lose their grip, the world is entering an era defined less by cooperation than by competition. In our forthcoming fall print magazine, Foreign Policy asks a simple but urgent question: How do you survive in a world without rules?

From Hal Brands on navigating an age of raw power to Charles Kupchan on reinventing global governance, and Michael Beckley on forging new partnerships between rich and developing nations, our contributors explore how leaders—and the rest of us—can adapt to a world where the old playbook no longer applies.
