BISA’s half century

As BISA marks 50 years since its inauguration we reflect on achievements, limitations and challenges. What do we want and need from International Studies over the next 50 years? Amidst perpetual political crisis and uncertainty, and growing calls to reshape, ‘undiscipline’ and even abolish the discipline of IR, we ask whether we are equipped for the challenges of the future. And if we are not, what should we do about that?

The BISA conference is renowned for being inclusive, diverse and friendly. We bring together a worldwide community of specialists to discuss, promote and develop international studies.
