AUSTRALASIAN INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ASSOCIATION

Welcome to the Australasian International Studies Association Home Page.

This page is edited by Dr Lorraine Elliott and maintained for the AISA by the Coombs Computing Unit, Research Schools of Social Sciences & Pacific and Asian Studies, the Australian National University (ANU), Canberra ACT 0200, Australia. This home page is still being developed and will be updated regularly.

The Association

The Association was formally established at an inaugural meeting held at La Trobe University on 5 July 1995. Preliminary work for the Association was undertaken by a committee of eight people, appointed at a one-day workshop on the state of the discipline in Australia, convened at the Australian National University in July 1994. The aim of the Association is to promote collaboration, interaction and networking among researchers, teachers, students and practitioners interested in international relations and any person who is engaged in the research, teaching, study or practice of international relations is eligible for membership. At present, the Association has an interim membership, pending the setting of membership fees. If you are interested in becoming an interim member of the Association, then contact any member of the Executive. The Association's Constitution is available for perusal via this home page.

The Newsletter

The Association also produces a newsletter, the AISA Bulletin which can be accessed via this home page.

International Relations on the Internet

This page is not intended to duplicate excellent cataloguing work done at other Political Science and International Relations sites. Therefore we provide here selected links only to key networked resources:

International Affairs Resources - WWW VL (U.Pittsburgh, USA)
Here you will find the World-Wide Web Virtual Library and a host of further links to international affairs resources.
International Relations and Security Network (International Security Network, Switzerland)
This will give you access to another specialist World-Wide Web Virtual Library, focusing on security and defence issues, peace and conflict research and international relations generally.
Political Science - WWW VL (U.Conneticut,USA)
Yet another specialist World-Wide Web Virtual Library.

Some of the local online resources of note are:

This link provides you with a regularly updated list of forthcoming conferences and other events in the Asia-Pacific region with a particular focus on the regional security dialogue.
Public International Law (UWA,Australia)

This list of resources will undergo inevitable changes as new and better information systems are developed.
