Founded in September 1993, the International Ethics Section of the International Studies Association seeks to encourage scholarship and discussion in the field of ethics and international affairs. It seeks to engage political and social scientists, historians, philosophers, and policy practitioners. The section is a clearinghouse for different approaches and pathways to the study of ethics and international affairs. It serves as a forum to discuss central issues and literatures, as well as substantive international policy issues and pedagogical concerns. The International Ethics section is open to all ISA members and enjoys a special relationship with the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs (CCEIA) as an affiliated institution.
