World Affairs

For the Northern California chapter of the World Affairs Councils of America, branded as "World Affairs," and the associated podcast, see World Affairs Council (Northern California).

World Affairs is an American quarterly journal covering international relations. At one time, it was an official publication of the American Peace Society.^[1] The magazine has been published since 1837 and was re-launched in January 2008 as a new publication. It was published by the World Affairs Institute from 2010 to 2016, when it was sold to the Policy Studies Organization.^[2] Each issue contains articles offering diverse perspectives on global issues and United States foreign policy. World Affairs is headquartered in Washington, D.C. Prior to 1932, the magazine was published monthly and under a variety of names, including The Advocate of Peace.^[3] Those articles have since been digitized by JSTOR and are freely viewable up to 1923.
