Published by Blackwell Publishing on behalf of the International Studies
Association

The International Studies Review (ISR) provides a window on current trends
and research in the field of international studies. In it, scholars,
educators, and policymakers can find pertinent information about new books
in international studies as well as analytic reviews of recent trends and
controversies in scholarship around the world.

Published four time a year, the Review will help: (a) scholars engage in the
kind of dialogue and debate that will shape the field of international
studies in the future; (b) graduate and undergraduate students understand
the major issues in international studies and identify promising
opportunities for research; and (c) educators keep up with new ideas and
research.

Contents

The Review contains four distinct sections.
    1.      Reflection, Evaluation, and Integration: The heart of each issue
is made up of two or three extended essays that synthesize scholarship,
clarify debates, pose new perspectives on existing research, identify new
directions in the field, or provide insight into scholarship in various
parts of the world.
    2.       Reviews of Books: As many as 20 short pieces review single
books or sets of two or three related books that have been published within
the past year.
    3.       Featured Book Reviews: Each issue also contains three or four
extended reviews of books. These will be books that have been published
outside the United Sates and written in languages other than English, or
books that make a particularly important contribution to the field, wherever
they are published.
    4.       The Forum: A goal of the Review is to stimulate lively dialogue
and debate about the nature of and future directions for international
studies. The Forum provides an outlet for debates over concepts, theories,
and current research--or even about reviews that have been published in the
International Studies Review itself.

Focus

The focus of the International Studies Review is on books and research
dealing with international institutions and the foreign policies,
international interactions, and international relationships of such
political actors as national governments, subnational groups, and
international governmental and nongovernmental organizations.

At the same time, the Review is committed to engaging the entire
international studies community in a creative dialogue. Over time the essay
and book reviews will give attention to such diverse topics as security
studies, international regime theory, international trade and finance,
comparative studies, development studies, feminist international theory,
peace studies, foreign policy analysis, international organizations,
international communication, intelligence studies, international law,
environmental studies, as well as various types of research methodologies.
