Amersur

Amersur (stylized AmerSur) is an Argentine non-profit civil association based in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Founded in 1997, it is dedicated to the preparation, publication, and promotion of studies on international politics, with a particular focus on South American integration and other social science themes. The organization functions as a documentation and dissemination platform rather than a commercial enterprise, but it operates a branded web presence and publishes a body of editorial content under the Amersur name. Amersur's editorial output covers economics, geopolitics, integration, society, education, labor, inequality, human rights, environment, and international policy. Its website organizes articles, interviews, and free downloadable books into thematic sections, and it has hosted or promoted the work of prominent Latin American intellectuals and public figures, including Celso Amorim, Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira, Darc Costa, Luis Dallanegra, José Luis Fiori, Leopoldo González Aguayo, Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira, Samuel Pinheiro Guimarães, Emir Sader, and Jorge Taiana. Institutionally, Amersur forms part of the Economic-Social Consultative Forum, Argentine Section, of MERCOSUR, and of the Civil Society Consultative Council of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship of the Argentine Republic. These affiliations position it within regional integration and civil-society networks rather than in the commercial marketplace. The association was founded by researchers Alberto Justo Sosa, Cristina Dirié, Celia Mayer, Claudio Lentini, Susana Goicochea, and María Elena Rosa. Its website, amersur.org, serves as its main public channel, offering articles, interviews, and free book downloads. Content on the site has addressed topics such as Argentina's growth and external insertion from 1983 to 2023, the tenth anniversary of the rejection of the FTAA at the Mar del Plata Summit, Mercosur politics, and global inequality reports. As a civil association, Amersur is not a listed company and does not report a ticker or commercial ownership structure. Its brand identity is tied to its role as a center for documentation, analysis, and debate on Latin American integration and international affairs.

Amersur was founded in 1997 in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires by a group of researchers: Alberto Justo Sosa, Cristina Dirié, Celia Mayer, Claudio Lentini, Susana Goicochea, and María Elena Rosa. From its inception, it was conceived as a non-profit civil association dedicated to the preparation, publication, and promotion of studies on international politics, particularly South American integration, and other social science topics. Over the years, Amersur has participated in the organization of seminars and the dissemination of works by leading Latin American intellectuals. Among those whose work has been featured or promoted are Celso Amorim, Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira, Darc Costa, Luis Dallanegra, José Luis Fiori, Leopoldo González Aguayo, Luiz Alberto Moniz Bandeira, Samuel Pinheiro Guimarães, Emir Sader, and Jorge Taiana. The organization has also established institutional affiliations. It forms part of the Economic-Social Consultative Forum, Argentine Section, of MERCOSUR, and of the Civil Society Consultative Council of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship of the Argentine Republic. These memberships reflect its engagement with regional integration processes and civil-society participation mechanisms. Amersur's website, amersur.org, has served as its primary public platform. It organizes content into sections such as Economics, Geopolitics, Integration, Society, Education and Work, Inequality, Human Rights, Environment, and International Policy. The site has published articles, interviews, and free downloadable books. Notable content includes a 2025 article by Alberto J. Sosa on Argentina's growth and external insertion from 1983 to 2023; a 2019 review of Professor Amilcar Salas Oroño; a 2016 publication of the book "El No al ALCA diez años después. La Cumbre de Mar del Plata y la integración latinoamericana reciente"; a 2016 exclusive interview with former Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim; and a 2018 article by León Pomer on the degradation facing Argentina. It has also covered global inequality, including the 2018 Global Inequality Report associated with Thomas Piketty. As a civil association, Amersur does not have commercial ownership, a stock listing, or a ticker. Its history is one of continuous editorial and convening activity within Latin American intellectual and integration networks.
