ISA Nominating Committee Report 2012

After careful deliberation, the International Studies Association Nominating Committee (Karen Alter, Scott Bennett, Martha Finnemore, Emilie Hafner-Burton, David Kinsella, Helen Milner, TJ Pempel, Bob Denemark, and Lisa Blaydes) unanimously agreed to a single slate of candidates for ISA officers: Amitav Acharya for president;  Cameron Thies, Carolyn Shaw, and Kristian Gleditsch for vice presidents. This year we also solicited (for the first time) nominees for at-large representatives from outside the recognized ISA regions. Our charge is to forward at least 5 candidates for three positions. We recommend the following 6 names be considered for the three at-large positions: Kurt Mills (UK); Olga Vorkunova (Russia); Toni Erskine (UK); Stephanie Rickard (UK); Mark Kayser (Germany); Thomas Hegghammer (Norway). We also solicited for the three-year position of treasurer. We recommend Cliff Morgan as treasurer. Candidate CVs are linked above and are available for download and review by ISA members prior to the election.
