Re-Visioning International Studies: Innovation And Progress

The 2019 theme for the International Studies Association's sixtieth annual convention was "Re-visioning International Studies: Innovation and Progress." This theme challenged scholars to reflect on and overcome the methodological and theoretical differences that threaten to cloister international studies scholarship into silos. Communicating across these divides will not only facilitate progress in international studies scholarship but will also help to convey scholarly findings to policy circles and to have a positive impact on how local and global orders are constructed. The articles in this special issue identify opportunities to reenvision established theoretical and methodological assumptions, find common ground across different perspectives, and propose ways to incorporate and unify diverse approaches to international studies.
