Only those with university positions and access to university resources should apply. Duties will likely commence in late 2008 or early 2009 for a five year term. The Executive Committee of the International Studies Association will make a recommendation to the organization’s Governing Council regarding the assignment of editorial duties for International Interactions at the 2008 annual meetings in San Francisco.
