Welcome to Commission
The Commission of History of International Relations is overall composed of more than 400 members, of which about 250 are active, according to the rules regarding the fee payments provided by the Articles of the Statute. The active members list is available in the reserved part of this web site. The members of the Commission are generally scholars and researchers, studying different subjects and coming from all over the world, who, with their activities, enhance the Commission, thus creating a virtual meeting-point, where it is possible to compare and contrast the different ways of conceiving and studying the history of international relations in the world.
In 2003 the Commission Secretariat in Milan created this web site, through which the active members have the possibility to let their researches and teaching activities know.
Moreover, we would like to create a net of knowledge and exchange outside the official and meeting places. Each member has got a personal web page to attach their curriculum of studies, all the personal works about the history of international relations, more and less recent, and the teaching programmes in progress at the moment.
Furthermore, each member can publish any paper they would like to be known to the other members in their personal web page. The Commission members have the possibility to meet each other every five years in a General Assembly during the International Congress of Historical Science, where they also suggest and discuss the work programme for the following five years.
In this context, during the period between the Congress of Sydney and the forthcoming Congress of Amsterdam, the Commission has promoted the following conferences:
«Transferts politiques et culturels entre la France, l’Allemagne et l’Europe centrale (1840-1948): le cas slovaque» (Bratislava, 27-28 October 2006)
«Concepts, Histories and Theories of International Relations: Regional and National Approaches» (Brasilia, 27-28 August 2008)
«Trajectories of Decolonization: Elites and the Transformation from the Colonial to the Postcolonial» (Cologne, 9-11 October 2008)
«Historia y Relaciones Internacionales : Debate sobre un Área de Estudio» (Madrid, 5-6 November 2009)
«The Cold War and the Regional Integration : Comparative Studies on the History of International Relations between Europe and Asia» (Tokyo, 5-6 December 2009).
The next General Assembly will be held in Amsterdam, during the 21st International Congress of Historical Sciences (22-28 August 2010). The general programme of the Amsterdam Congress with the indication of the major and special themes, the roundtables, the organizers and the discussants is available on http://www.cish.org/GB/Evenements/Evenements.htm.
