Americas Quarterly is the leading publication dedicated to politics, business and culture in the Americas. An award-winning magazine and website, AQ has a proud tradition of portraying the real Latin America, while working to promote its core values: democracy, inclusive economic growth and equal rights for all of the hemisphere’s nearly 1 billion citizens. Borrowing elements from The Economist, Foreign Affairs and National Geographic – but with a focus on Latin America – AQ is dedicated to covering the region in all its diversity and promise. Launched in 2007 and based in New York City, AQ is an independent publication of Americas Society/Council of the Americas, which for more than 50 years have been dedicated to dialogue in our hemisphere. AQ's agenda-setting readership includes CEOs, senior government officials and thought leaders, as well as a general-interest audience passionate about the Americas.
