Between our classic print magazine and our award-winning website, we’ve published more than 500 articles this year-on everything from Vladimir Putin’s Russia to the euro crisis to how to deal with the self-proclaimed Islamic State. We’re proud of all our content, but every year there are a few pieces that really stand out from the pack. So we’ve compiled some of our favorites into this anthology for handy reference.

Our diverse offerings include Kenan Malik’s The Failure of Multiculturalism, which argues that Europe’s integration policies have entrenched divisions rather than erased them, and Ira Trivedi’s When a Bride-to-Be Is a Bride to Buy, an eye-opening piece on India’s bride shortage and how it has fueled the trafficking of young women. From Greece’s financial problems to the Islamic State’s statecraft, the decline of international studies in the American academy to the stagnation of reforms in China, we’ve covered it all. We hope you enjoy the collection and come back for more in 2016!
