Responsibilities
The Publications Committee shall make recommendations to ISA’s Executive Committee and/or Governing Council, concerning (1) the appointment and/or replacement of ISA Publication Editors; (2) the institutional locations of editorial operations; (3) the contribution of ISA Publications toward the goals of the International Studies Association; (4) the relationships between the ISA Publications, specifically potential issues of overlap, competition, and/or, redundancy; and (5) strategies to increase international distribution of ISA publications and to encourage inclusion of contribution materials in languages other than English.
