THE UKRAINIAN INTERNATIONAL STUDIES ASSOCIATION

Dear Colleague,

As you probably know, the International Studies
Association is the largest professional association of
the scholars and practitioners of international
studies in the United States. In the course of its
half a century existence, the ISA has promoted the
development of international studies by serving as a
forum where interested scholars and policymakers alike
could meet to share views on the most pressing issues
of international affairs.

In response to the growing need for an association of
the kind to be founded in Ukraine, a group of
concerned scholars attended the Annual Convention of
the International Studies Association in Chicago to
study its experience and determine prospects for
cooperation.

As a follow-up to this visit, the first meeting of the
Ukrainian International Studies Association was held
on 21 June 2001 in Kiev. It approved the Charter of
the UISA and elected its President, Mr. Borys
Tarasiuk, and Executive Director, Dr. Hryhoriy
Nemyria.

The Ukrainian International Studies Association is a
professional association of the scholars and
practitioners of international studies in Ukraine. It
seeks to promote the development of international
studies by encouraging dialogue and collaboration in
this field across Ukraine. The specific activities of
the Ukrainian ISA will resemble those of the
International Studies Association. As it is with the
ISA, there are no strict limits imposed, and the
members are free to propose any initiatives they
believe can further the purposes of the association.

The Ukrainian ISA is to be registered with the ISA as
a cooperating organization.

The membership of the UISA is open to all students,
graduate students, scholars and practitioners of
international studies.

The UISA welcomes the membership of students and
graduate students in international studies. Its first
meeting endorsed the establishment of a student
section within the larger association. The UISA
believes that students and graduate students have a
particular role to play in the development of
international studies as a field in Ukraine.

We are very interested in your feedback. Please have
your ideas, comments, and suggestions mailed to
