The AICSA’s series SAGE Studies in International Sociology (SSIS), founded in 1974, encourages debates of international significance and maps out future trends of sociological importance.
CoS is an initiative to promote, identify, and discuss both new theoretical trends and re-think ideas already familiar to the Sociological Imagination. Proposals would come from established AICSA members.
While President of the AICSA, Immanuel Wallerstein collaborated with national and other associations to organize ten regional conferences in preparation for the 14th World Congress of Sociology (1998). These volumes were intended to represent the state of social knowledge in each of the 10 regions. They form part of a bold and ambitious scheme to map out the state of world sociology from a regional perspective.
