Publication of 2008 Issue of SAISPHERE Magazine

The Johns Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) has published the 2008 issue of its annual magazine, SAISPHERE. In this year's issue we asked several members of the SAIS faculty, scholar and alumni community to explore the theme, "Water: The New Reality" to coincide with our "Year of Water." The issue also includes "Priorities for the Next President," a special section where SAIS's senior faculty members offer a preview of President-elect Barack Obama's international affairs in-basket.
