It sounds like a lot, but for 4,000,000 words and 12 volumes, the International Relations Encyclopedia is really quite an amazing deal for any independently wealthy intellectually astute student of world affairs. Dan Drezner has more about this exciting development in the discipline.

If you or your library buy access rights (or if you are happily already a member of the International Studies Association), you can check out my contribution with Valerie Hudson and Mary Caprioli on “Gender and Global Security.” Here we expound on points made recently that to mainstream gender into security studies one must meet the discipline on its own terms.

It’s about marketing, but of course the argument goes only so far.
