Volume 93, Number 5. In this issue:

"Pitchfork Politics", by Yascha Mounk. The Tea Party and its European cousins have emerged from the enduring inability of democratic governments to satisfy their citizens' needs. Today's populist movements won't subside until the legitimate grievances driving them have been addressed.

"Crashing the Party", by David Frum. Three big trends - a growing reliance on older voters, an extremist ideological turn, and an increasing internal rigidity - have changed the Republican Party over the past decade, weakening its ability to win presidential elections and inhibiting its ability to govern.

"Halfway There", by Michael Kazin. Why are gay rights advancing while organized labor retreats? Because of a long-term trend in which the American left has largely succeeded in pushing its social agenda but not its economic one.

"The Right Stuff", by Byron York. A loose confederation of conservative thinkers and politicians is developing a new strategy for reaching out to the American middle class. These reformers could save the Republican Party - if only they could win over their fellow conservatives.

"A Woman of the People", by Michael Tomasky. Divisions among Democrats exist just like they do among Republicans, but have largely festered beneath the surface for lack of a spokesperson to challenge the party's economic elites. In Elizabeth Warren, grassroots Democrats may have found their champion.

Essays: "Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West's Fault", by John J. Mearsheimer; "Prink Less but Transfer More", by Mark Blyth and Eric Lonergan; "An Army to Defeat Assad", by Kenneth M. Pollack; "Leaders Indicating", by Ruchir Sharma; "Passage to India", by Nicholas Burns.

Reviews & Responses: "Can't Buy Me Love", by John Osburg; "The Triumph of the Hindu Right", by Ananya Vajpeyi; "Success Stories", by Paul Kennedy.
