UNITED NATIONS - / MaximsNews Network / 03 September 2008 --The World Policy Institute, a non-partisan source of progressive global policy analysis and thought leadership for more than four decades, has named David A. Andelman as the new editor of World Policy Journal.

Founded independently in 1961, the World Policy Institute was part of The New School from 1991 until November 2007, when it was re-established as an autonomous organization. The institute's flagship quarterly, World Policy Journal, celebrates its 25th anniversary in Fall 2008. The Journal is distinguished by articles written in a lively, non-academic style, coming from strong points of view that transcend the traditional foreign-versus-domestic policy divide. WPJ's progressive global outlook challenges conventional wisdom, seeks out new voices, and explores crucial but underreported global issues. WPJ is distributed by MIT Press Journals.

"David Andelman brings assets including a wide range of international experience, tremendous energy, a collegial spirit, and a deep respect for the World Policy Journal's record of identifying new writers and ideas," said Michele Wucker, executive director of the World Policy Institute.

Most recently executive editor at Forbes.com, Mr. Andelman is a veteran journalist and editor who has reported from more than 50 countries for The New York Times, CBS News, CNBC and other news organizations. He is the author of three books, most recently A Shattered Peace: Versailles 1919 and the Price We Pay Today (Wiley, 2007), an examination of the global consequences for today’s world of the errors committed by peacemakers nearly a century ago.

"In these difficult times, America and the world need the kind of fresh, independent and creative voice represented by World Policy Journal," said David Andelman. "I am delighted to take on the challenge of building the journal and its website into a powerful community of unique and exciting voices from every continent discussing contemporary problems, their origins and their solutions."

Mr. Andelman, WPJ's fourth editor, succeeds Karl E. Meyer, who has edited WPJ since 2000. Mr. Meyer's twelfth book, Kingmakers: The Invention of the Modern Middle East, is being published this month by W.W. Norton.  The late James Chace was editor from 1993-2000, succeeding WPJ's founding editor, Sherle Schwenninger, who remains a senior fellow at the World Policy Institute.
