The International Studies Association (ISA) is a professional organization in the international affairs field, founded in 1959 to advance scholarly and practitioner collaboration in international studies. Based in Storrs, Connecticut, the association serves a global network of scholars representing about 80 countries, fostering communities through six geographic regions and twenty-three interest groups that facilitate idea exchange and research within specialized areas. It operates within an academic and professional context, organizing international conferences and conventions and maintaining formal ties with other international studies organizations and the United Nations as a nongovernmental council. A core aim is to provide a structured platform for researchers, educators, and policymakers to engage with international studies topics, including events and collaboration across a broad, interdisciplinary landscape. A recent development includes planning for the ISA 2025 Virtual Conference, reflecting the organization’s ongoing efforts to host large-scale, globally accessible programming.
