The term “international society” is widely used in academic and 
political parlance. Yet it remains relatively unexamined as a historical 
concept in its own right. ConIH aims to promote the conceptual analysis 
of “international society” as well as studies of its intellectual, 
political, legal, economic, religious, social, and cultural history.
Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to, international 
athletic competitions, international lawyers, the cultural and social 
life of international governmental, non-governmental, and 
inter-governmental institutions, international health initiatives, or 
human rights. We also hope to treat the threats to international 
society: agents of international social disorder, organized crime, 
terrorism, protectionism, and other barriers to the creation and 
maintenance of international cooperation and exchange. Papers on the 
history of international relations that address classic subjects such as 
war, peace, and diplomacy that cast light on the idea of international 
society are also welcome. We especially encourage papers treating these 
questions in periods prior to the twentieth century.
