OUR STORY:

The Americas are at an historic moment as a new generation of political, economic, and social leaders emerges from Canada to Tierra del Fuego.  While new voices and ideas have long resonated at a local level, no publication previously  existed to promote region-wide debate among this new class of leaders and young technocrats.

With the goal of filling this void, the Americas Society and Council of the Americas launched Americas Quarterly—a journal dedicated to  deepening policy analysis and debate on economics, finance, and politics in the region.  The editorial mission of the journal is to target this new generation and to engage them in a discussion of future policy alternatives, highlight specific reforms throughout the hemisphere, and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas.

We have assembled a top-notch editorial board that includes former presidents Ernesto Zedillo, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, and Ricardo Lagos, as well as a new generation of emerging scholars from the worlds of economics and political science.

For over 40 years, the Americas Society and Council of the Americas have actively engaged in the dissemination and discussion of a policy agenda that aims to significantly influence the future of our hemisphere.  We look forward to a new era of fresh, positive exchange on the critical topics of the day.
