ISA - International Sociological Association

Current Sociology, an official journal of the International Sociological Association, is one of the oldest and most widely cited sociology journals in the world. Prior to 1997, Current Sociology published long Trend Reports, and shorter Half Trend Reports, on topics of interest to sociologists internationally. Examples of recent issues include sociology of work, rational choice, survey research, social mobility, cancer, leisure, and the information society.

In 1998 at the World Congress of Sociology in Montreal, Current Sociology was relaunched as a peer-reviewed quarterly, with a focus on shorter review articles on emergent and challenging sociological issues in any area of sociological endeavour.

As part of its remit, Current Sociology continues to be interested in articles discussing trends within sociology but this is within the context of a broader concern with issues: not only the analysis of issues relating to the development of sociology as a discipline but also the contribution that sociological understanding can make to the analysis of issues relating to the development of modern societies in a globalizing world.
