If you are a member of the International Security Studies Section (ISSS) of the International Studies Association (ISA) please remember to vote in its governance elections. And you should, of course, cast one of your votes for the Duck of Minerva‘s own Jon Western.
Jon is running for a seat on its Governing Council. As he will admit (after a sufficient number of drinks), amounts to a well-paid sinecure with many opportunities for corruption and malfeasance.
The election ends on 15 December, so vote early and vote often.
