The International Studies Association (ISA) is a US-based professional association for scholars and practitioners in the field of international studies. Founded in 1959, ISA has been headquartered at the University of Connecticut in Storrs since 2015. [1] Its executive director is Mark A. Boyer. [2] It has been a member of the International Science Council since 1984. [3]
ISA has more than 7,000 members in over 100 countries and describes itself as "one of the oldest interdisciplinary associations dedicated to understanding international, transnational and global affairs." [4] ISA encompasses six geographic subdivisions (regions), 29 thematic groups (sections), and four caucuses, providing opportunities to exchange ideas and research with local colleagues and within specific subject areas. [5] ISA's annual convention routinely draws over 6,000 attendees. [6]
ISA publishes seven academic journals ( International Studies Quarterly, International Studies Review, International Studies Perspectives, Foreign Policy Analysis, International Political Sociology, Journal of Global Security Studies, and Global Studies Quarterly) and co-sponsors an eighth (International Interactions). ISA also publishes the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of International Studies in conjunction with Oxford University Press and maintains other online resources. [7] Since 1981, it has awarded the Karl Deutsch Award to scholars under age 40 or within ten years of defending their doctoral dissertation. [8]
In 2014, ISA came under criticism for a proposed ban on blogging by its journals' editors. [9]
