ISA has agreed to organize a panel or two for the annual meeting of the
British International Studies Association, which will be at the University
of Leicester (100 miles northwest of London) December 14-16.
BISA Call For Papers
If you are interested in presenting a paper, please contact David Spiro
right away (David@Spi.ro). No travel funds are available from ISA for this
conference.
Every year the IPE section honors a distinguished senior scholar
whose research has been influential in the field. This year's
selection committee, Bob Denemark (chair) and Renee
Marlin-Bennett, welcome your nominations. Please send
nominations to
marlin@jhu.edu by May 22, 2009.
IPE Yearbook Editorship
The current editors of the IPE Yearbook series, Chris May and
Nicola Phillips, will be ending their term of (exemplary!)
service at the end of this year. Chris and Nicola’s tenure has
resulted in the publication of Guns and Butter: The Political
Economy of International Security, edited by Peter Dombrowski
(volume 14 in the series);Corporate Global Power, edited by
Chris (volume 15); and Crime and the Global Political Economy,
edited by H. Richard Friman (volume 16, in press). Nicola is now
editing volume 17, on migration. For further information see:
http://www.rienner.com/browse_books/42
To keep up the momentum, we are seeking a new editor or
coeditors to begin planning for volumes 18 and beyond as soon as
possible. Prior to submitting a written proposal, interested
candidates should contact the publisher, Lynne Rienner (at
303-444-6684), for a preliminary discussion. The involvement of
section members is essential to the success of this series, so
don’t be shy!
The IPE section has a new blog site. At our annual meeting in NYC we
discussed the limitations members felt with our section
communication. As a means of addressing this we have created the IPE
blog. So what can you do with the blog?
Many section members have wonderful paper ideas but do not know
if others are interested in forming a panel. Maybe you have come
across this circumstance where you want to write a paper on X
and wonder are others writing on X? The blog provides a
wonderful opportunity to find out. Simply post your panel idea
along with your contact details and those interested in the
proposal now have a way to work together to form a panel.
So where do you go and how do you do it? This couldn't be
easier. Simply click on or paste the web address into your web
browser:
Once you are there you will see a category entitled, "2010 Panel
Proposals". Click on it and you can type in your proposal(s).
Click the 'Submit Comment" and then click the box "Notify me of
follow-up Comments via email". For those of you who are a little
more advanced you will notice RSS feeds on the right. Click on
those and you can get RSS feeds directly to your reader.
This is the first time we have created a blog and we hope that
it is successful! If there are any unforeseen troubles please
contact Hasmet Uluorta at
hasmet@workingalternatives.net.

The AlterGlobalizations Caucus (AGC) also has a new blog. Many
thanks to Dan Bousfield for creating the site! Yes once again
we're trying to improve the accessibility for ISA members. For
those of you not familiar with the AGC this is a collection of
scholar-activists who meet at ISA to discuss and act on the
implementation of alter-globalizations. The AGC has been part of
the ISA's 'innovative panel' series now for the past three
years. We welcome everyone who is interested in participating at
the meetings and with organizing this new caucus. We have a
disparate grouping of scholar-activists from a number of
sections with different research-activism agendas. Take a look
at the blog and feel free to join!
