ACUNS and the IO Section of ISA

are pleased to announce the establishment of the

ACUNS-IO Listserv


The Academic Council on the UN System (ACUNS) and the International
Organization Section of the International Studies Association (IO-ISA) are
co-sponsoring an email listserv for their members and others interested in
the discussion of issues related to international organization studies and
the United Nations system.

This unmoderated listserv will be administered by ACUNS and Brown
University, and will be accessible to ACUNS members, IO Section members,
and the general public. Initially, the discussion will be "free-form." As
user interest and the listserv itself evolves, the sponsors will
periodi-cally solicit and post documents and/or ab-stracted "thought
pieces" to channel discussion of topical issues and events.

Melissa Phillips (ACUNS) and Kurt Mills (York University-IO Section member)
will serve as the list's administrators. The listserv's technical point of
contact is Gregory Kazarian (Brown University).In addition to the timely
dissemination of information to ACUNS and IO Section sub-scribers, it is
hoped that this forum will serve as a useful platform through which:

* an informed debate is engaged involving social scientists, legal
scholars, practitioners, and others regarding the UN system, international
organization studies, and the future of global governance; and
* multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary per-spectives are brought to bear
in discussion of these issues to facilitate greater understanding.

The only technical requirement to partici-pate in this listserv is access
to an email system.
As always, we welcome suggestions and comments from our respective
memberships as to the content and direction of this listserv.
