Welcome to the International Studies Association-West!

Our new webspace aims to be, like the new ISA-West, connected. ISA-West has a fresh webhome (isawest.org) and a fresh theme (Ethics in Global Politics).

After breaking new ground with our 2006 conference in Las Vegas, where we broke all records for attendance, the 2007 Annual conference (September 28-29) will feature ISA President Jack Levy as our keynote speaker and Richard Falk as our presenter on Ethics. Our board has decided to move the conference to San Francisco for the next three years; we will be at the beautiful Holiday Inn Golden Gateway. The ISA-West has fostered partnerships with the ISA International Ethics section, the Carnegie Endowment, and Women in International Security. While we welcome all paper submissions in IR and Comparative, we especially welcome those that focus on ethics in IR. We invite you to explore both our webspace and our organization.

See the preliminary program for ISA-West 2007 here.

CONFERENCE:
ISA-West applied for and has been awarded a 2007 ISA Workshop Grant to hold a workshop on the day preceeding ISA-West 2007. This workshop will be for the purpose of putting together an edited volume of ISA-West members' papers, provisionally entitled: "Old Solutions to New Problems: Political Theory and 21st Century Security Dilemmas".

ISA-West 2007 will be held in San Francisco, California. ISA-West 2007 paper proposals will be due May 31, 2007 (note deadline change due to a typo in the current Ethics and International Affairs) for a conference the last weekend in September. ISA-West has decided to make the program deadline earlier in order to increase the quality of the panels which we present, allow attendees time to look for funding, and allow program chairs time to recruit speakers, chairs, and discussants. There will also be an online submission form, where you can upload your proposals on the internet. Click here to see the call for papers for ISA-West 2007.
