The Association's annual convention is a major international scholarly event, including over 1,000 panel sessions and involving participants from more than fifty countries. ISA conventions are held at alternative sites in the United States, Canada, Mexico and overseas.

Power, Principles and Participation in the Global Information Age

The theme of this year’s conference is inspired by the apparent impact of new information and communication technologies on international and transnational affairs. Information has altered power relations; it has help to globalize norms and principles; it has the potential to bring new participants into political and social processes world-wide. From geographic information systems that bring satellite images to our research to sophisticated form of electronic textual analysis to internet surveys, it is undeniable that a whole range of new technologies is affecting the way we think about and do research in international studies. How have the rapid and fundamental changes in information and communication technologies influenced the political environment and altered global connections?

CIGI will be an exhibitor at this year's Convention. Come by the booth to view our latest publications on global governance at on the Exhibit floor of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.
