Canada’s magazine

‘Not all academics are irrelevant’

As Susan Delacourt notes, though the magazine is apparently not a close watcher of Canadian polling, Michael Ignatieff has come in at #64 on Foreign Policy’s list of global thinkers. It’s unclear whether this represents a drop from his standing last year, when a reader poll by Prospect magazine ranked Mr. Ignatieff the 34th most intellectual intellectual.

The further readable Ignatieff

As noted when we first collected Michael Ignatieff’s freely readable writings, Prospect magazine did, for a time, make available all of the pieces Mr. Ignatieff wrote for it. They haven’t reopened the entire archive to non-subscribers, but a couple pieces are now available for free. They are Virtual War from April 2000 and Identity Parades from April 1998.
