Dear WSNers;
This year's International Studies Association meeting will take
place between Wednesday March 18th and Saturday March 21st in
Minneapolis, MN.
The meetings will include a far greater number of panels oriented toward
world historical systems than has been true in many years. Many scholars
associated with various world system positions will be there.
Individuals who want additional information about the meetings may
contact ISA Headquarters at U. of Arizona (isa@arizona.edu), or Bob
