INTERNATIONAL SOCIOLOGY

"International Sociology does not represent the West theorising about the rest of the world but presents articulate global voices." Margaret Archer University of Warwick, UK "In recent years International Sociology has climbed in to the top ranks of learned journals in the field. Its scholarly quality and its unmatched international reach make it required reading." Neil Smelser University of California, Berkeley, USA "International Sociology displays a remarkable international scope that would be difficult for any other journal to match. It is a valuable resource for understanding the range of sociological studies conducted all over the world." Hiroshi Ishida University of Tokyo, Japan "International Sociology is an important gathering place for some of the leading thinkers of our time. Innovative blends of theory, method, and evidence are brought to bear on the critical questions facing social scientists and their audiences." Charles Ragin University of Arizona/Tucson, USA Established in 1986 by the International Sociological Association (ISA), International Sociology is a highly ranked peer reviewed journal whose aim is to reflect the theoretical and empirical diversity of international sociology. Particularly welcome are papers which explore contemporary social challenges and transformations affecting global society or which highlight how an international perspective can provide fresh insights contributing to the development of international sociological theory and knowledge. As the journal caters for the diverse sociological community it welcomes theoretical contributions as well as more empirical papers using qualitative and quantitative approaches. ISA members receive International Sociology as a benefit of membership.
