The Wilson Quarterly, which began publishing in 1976, provides a nonpartisan and nonideological window on the world of ideas. By presenting the best writing and thinking of academics, specialists, and others to a broad audience, it aims to overcome the specialization and information overload that prevent the public from following developments in significant realms of knowledge. The magazine ranges over many subject areas but always with an eye to public questions: issues in politics and policy, culture, religion, science, and other fields that bear upon our public life.

One of the nation’s premier journals since 1976, The Wilson Quarterly offers fresh takes, on-the-ground reporting, and thought-provoking perspectives through carefully curated essays and multimedia pieces. Each issue takes a deep and satisfying dive into a single topic or theme that is shaping our world - presenting a compelling range of angles and voices. Whether exploring specific regions, political developments, social trends or history, the award-winning WQ aims to inform, intrigue, and inspire.
