ISA SAGE Studies in International Sociology


This series was established by the ISA in 1974 in place of the Transactions of the World Congress of Sociology which had been published since the Association's first congress in 1949.

SSIS now includes two publication outlets.

  • The first is the well-established monograph book series which includes topical and commercially viable volumes which reflect the scientific activities of, and debates currently taking place in, the ISA. Books in this series would normally be single or jointly authored.

    Typically volumes contain an average of eight chapters and run to about 250 book pages. Proposals for this series should include a statement concerning the intended market for the book, any competitor volumes and its sales potential. Proposals will be reviewed by the series editor and by Sage.

  • The second publication outlet is a new initiative. From 2001, there are two extra issues per year of the journal Current Sociology devoted to SSIS monograph issues. This initiative provides an important publications outlet, particularly for edited collections from Research Committees, Research Council conferences. National and Regional Associations (including language communities) and ISA World Congress meetings.

The monograph issues contain selections of papers chosen for their scientific merit, international representativeness and relevance to the theme which the issue is addressing. There should be a strong Introduction and/or Conclusion which explores and develops the theme for the issue. Monograph issues will typically contain about seven or eight papers and have a maximum page length of 212 printed journal pages. All proposals will be refereed by members of the Editorial Board (made up of Research Committee Presidents) and the series editor.

SSIS books and monograph issues are published in English and the monograph issues include abstracts in French and Spanish. It is also part of the SSIS mandate to reflect global concerns and representation through issues of international importance and sociological significance.
