Publications
IAS supports and participates in a variety of publishing initiatives. Our goal is to represent the best traditions of regional studies, reconfigured through fresh global, transnational, and thematic perspectives. We support both traditional print and new electronic publication technologies, believing that the future of scholarly communication lies in flexible, innovative publication strategies that draw on the joint resources of and cooperation among scholars, publishers, and academic units.
