You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History ==
The FPA was founded in 1918 as the "League of Free Nations Association." Under the chairmanship of journalist [[Paul Underwood Kellogg]], it was formed by 41 Americans to support US President [[Woodrow Wilson]]'s efforts to achieve a just peace, with his speech and proposal of the [[Fourteen Points]], which included the idea of a world organization, later to be called the [[League of Nations]]. Although the League of Nations ultimately failed, it did help pave the way for the success of the United Nations. The FPA also sought to increase support for United States membership in the world body that was then being discussed and laid out in the [[Versailles Treaty]] and the [[Paris Peace Conference, 1919]], with the "Big Four" representatives dominating the many representatives of the nations formerly at war: President Woodrow Wilson of the US, Prime Minister [[David Lloyd George]] of the [[United Kingdom]], Premier [[Georges Clemenceau]] of [[France]], and Prime Minister [[Vittorio Emanuele Orlando]] of [[Italy]] following the [[Armistice with Germany|Armistice]] ending combat in [[World War I]]. It also included future influential Americans from both sides of the political spectrum, [[John Foster Dulles]] and [[Eleanor Roosevelt]].

Following the failure of the [[United States Senate]] to ratify the Treaty and membership in the League during various debate sessions with votes taken in 1919 and early 1920, and also later through the results of the [[1920 United States presidential election|Presidential Election of 1920]], it was later reconstituted in 1923 as the Foreign Policy Association.

In 1938, a series of lectures on foreign policy aimed towards women called "Off the Record" was launched under the support of the FPA, which later became a non-profit organization of its own in 1938, and now has more than 400 members as of 2023.<ref>((Cite web|title=About OTR|url=https://off-the-record.org/about|access-date=2022-02-07|website=Off The Record|language=en))</ref>

In the 1940s, headed by [[Vera Micheles Dean]], the FPA was broadcasting New York City meetings and weekly talks on the program "The World Today" over the [[National Broadcasting Company]]'s (NBC) radio network. Later, as the discussions among citizens spread, the FPA branches across America began to grow in notoriety and became the forerunners of the various independent membership councils with the [[World Affairs Councils of America]] and the foreign affairs or foreign policy councils founded in major large cities or regions of states in the 1950s and 1960s, and some as late as the 1980s.

The FPA's publications, ''"Foreign Policy Reports"'' (1925–1951), ''"Foreign Policy Bulletin"'' (1920–1961) and ''"Headline Series"'' (1935–present) provide analysis of foreign policy issues.

In 1954, the FPAs launched its ''Great Decisions'' public education program on international affairs.<ref>((Cite web |date=2006-11-02 |title=Foreign Policy Association: Great Decisions |url=http://www.fpa.org/info-url_nocat4705/info-url_nocat.htm |access-date=2022-02-07 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061102181433/http://www.fpa.org/info-url_nocat4705/info-url_nocat.htm |archive-date=2 November 2006 |url-status=dead))</ref> In the 1960s, the forerunner of the FPA's ''"Citizen's Guide to U.S. Foreign Policy"'' was published.

In the 1970s, ''Great Decisions'' opinion ballots were tabulated nationally for the first time.<ref>((Cite web |date=2007-10-18 |title=Foreign Policy Association: Great Decisions |url=http://www.fpa.org/info-url_nocat4705/info-url_nocat.htm |access-date=2022-02-07 |website= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071018032659/http://www.fpa.org/info-url_nocat4705/info-url_nocat.htm |archive-date=18 October 2007 |url-status=dead))</ref>

The Foreign Policy Association celebrated its 100th anniversary at a gala held at the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] in October 2018.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/the-foreign-policy-association-celebrates-100-years/|title=The Foreign Policy Association celebrates 100 years|last=NYSD STAFF|date=5 November 2018|website=New York Social Diary))</ref>

==Media==

In the effort to help distinguish itself from other non-profit educational and civic organizations in the field of international affairs, the Foreign Policy Association works to engage the public through a variety of different media: Print, Internet and blogs, and television and DVDs.

===Great Decisions Briefing Book===
The ''[http://www.fpa.org/great_decisions/ Great Decisions]'' briefing book features analyses on issues of concern to US policymakers today.

===Great Decisions Television Series===

The Foreign Policy Association also produces the [http://www.greatdecisions.tv ''Great Decisions''] series on [[public television]]. Great Decisions is produced by Executive Producer MacDara King. [https://foreignpolicyblogs.com/media/ ''Great Decision''] full episodes are also available on Netflix,<ref>((cite web|title=Great Decisions on Netflix|url=https://www.netflix.com/title/70288456|publisher=Netflix))</ref> Hulu, and iTunes.<ref>((cite web|title=Great Decisions on Hulu|url=https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/great-decisions-in-foreign/id593073186|publisher=Hulu))</ref>

Narrated by [[David Strathairn]], the series features eight half-hour documentaries providing background information, analyses, and debate on issues of concern to US foreign policymakers. The show was narrated by [[Walter Cronkite]]. Former guests include [[Secretary-General of the United Nations]] [[Ban Ki-moon]], [[Desmond Tutu]], [[Jimmy Carter]], and [[Madeleine Albright]].

===Foreignpolicyblogs.com===

Launched in 2007 as part of the "Great Decision" Program, the [https://foreignpolicyblogs.com/ "Foreign Policy Blogs" network] is a network of global affairs commentary "blogs" comprising nearly 50 blogs on a wide variety of global issues ranging from US foreign policy to global feature films/movies. With the "Foreign Policy Blogs" network, the Foreign Policy Association brings to the public, discussion on global affairs to the internet.

The "Foreign Policy Blogs" network is a production of the Foreign Policy Association but is staffed by professional contributors from journalism, academia, business, non-profits and think tanks.

==Programming==

The ''Great Decisions'' program, launched in 1954, is the flagship educational program at the core of its outreach.

The Foreign Policy Association organizes educational programs such as the ''Great Decisions'' discussion groups <ref>((Cite web |date=2009-08-07 |title=Foreign Policy Association: Discussion Groups |url=http://www.fpa.org/info-url_nocat4728/ |access-date=2023-05-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090807071117/http://www.fpa.org/info-url_nocat4728/ |archive-date=2009-08-07 ))</ref> and workshops. FPA's national network of volunteer coordinators help implementing the ''Great Decisions'' program by setting up discussion groups, seminars, and public forums in which participants meet, discuss, and reach informed opinions on each topic.

To facilitate the programming, the FPA produces the weekly e-newsletters, "Great Decisions Online" and "Great Decisions in the Classroom," written for ''Great Decisions'' participants and educators. The organization makes a map of all the various discussion groups across the US available and encourages individuals to start groups of their own.

===Teacher Training===

Working to increase ''Great Decisions'' participation among high school students, FPA conducts outreach to hundreds of high school teachers from around the United States at meetings of the [http://www.socialstudies.org/ National Council for the Social Studies]. Through ''Great Decisions'' workshop presentations and exhibitor booths, educators learn about FPA's programming and receive samples of the ''Great Decisions'' educational materials.

In addition to the general outreach, the Foreign Policy Association organizes [https://web.archive.org/web/20101124010500/http://www.fpa.org/info-url_nocat4705/info-url_nocat_show.htm?doc_id=912592 "Great Decisions Teacher Training Institutes"]. Here, secondary school teachers learn about the ''Great Decisions'' programming materials and resources to explore ways to integrate ''Great Decisions'' in the classroom curricula.

==Events==

Since the launch of the luncheon series in the 1920s, the Foreign Policy Association has invited experts to discuss global affairs issues with the public. Aside from the recurrent annual events such as the Annual FPA Dinner, the "World Leadership Forum," and the "International Business Forum," it also organizes [http://foreignpolicyblogs.com/media/events.html events] such as "Town Hall" meetings, lectures, luncheon discussions, and open forums with world leaders and experts in the New York City metropolitan area.
