LETTER FROM THE EDITORS A Year of Big Ideas Welcome to our fifth annual special issue featuring fp’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers. Each autumn, Foreign Policy’s editors start compiling this remarkable list of people who, over the past year, have made a measurable difference in politics, business, technology, the arts, the sciences, and more. To get the ball rolling, we reach out to wonks, writers, experts, and policymakers on six continents for nominees. We look at the year’s biggest stories and scour the weird and arcane from trade and scientific journals (and find someone to explain it all to us). Then, armed with thousands of names, we sit down to hash out the list. Putting together fp’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers is a chal- state—perhaps this year’s biggest story. And to give the story lenge and a pleasure—an opportunity to single out some of the world’s most exciting people and laud their accomplishments. texture and context, we could think of no one better than our Some will be obvious, many you may have never heard of, and others, well, we just think they’re cool. generation’s answer to George Orwell, award-winning novel- Admittedly, not every one of our ist William T.

For example, the list includes the main players amazing stories, stunning revelations, (Edward Snowden, Keith Alexander, Glenn Greenwald, and Laura Poitras) in the unmasking of the global surveillance and groundbreaking ideas. And it has been a big year for fp as well. By the time this issue hits newsstands, we hope you’ll have already spent some time online at the redesigned ForeignPolicy.com. We’ve worked hard to sharpen our focus on inci- sive reporting and global analysis, and our articles are now comple- mented by a bold new look with brilliant images and graphics, inter- active features, and intuitive navigation.
