Who are WISC?

WISC is formed by 20 international, regional and national international studies associations or sections of political studies associations (email: <wisc@kent.ac.uk>). The First Global International Studies Conference will be held in Istanbul, one of the world’s great cities. Situated in both Europe and Asia, its vibrant culture reflects not only historic links throughout the Ottoman and Islamic worlds but a country which brings together ‘East’ and ‘West’ in a secular state in which the population largely shares one of the world’s most potent faiths – Islam.
