Key features:

• Over 500 peer reviewed essays of up to 10,000 words focusing on the most important topics and issues
• Aimed at students, scholars, and practitioners, the essays are designed to allow readers to be brought quickly up-to-date on the nature of the questions asked, past attempts at formulating responses, and the current state of debates
• Comprehensive coverage of the field
• Extensive bibliography and index volumes
• International Studies Online will be updated twice annually and will be enhanced by live links to archives, datasets, cases, pedagogical aids, and other relevant materials

The project is organized primarily around the 23 different sections representing areas of specialization within the ISA. Each specialized section organized a committee to identify key topics and identify authors. The project is being overseen by an editorial board comprising 28 past and present Presidents of ISA.
