Introduction
Following
the current events in the world, it is necessary for Middle East countries,
e.g., Iran to promote the scientific purposes of international law,
international relations, and political science. This moment requires the
promotion and so understanding of good governance, human rights, and
democracy. The coinciding of our world with the new millennium and the
events of 11th September has attracted the attention of scholars
in various fields of international studies to such and extent that major
research and analytical works have been produced in the academic
institutions around the world.
In
line with the efforts and collaborations to retain and revere this
universal ideal, the International Studies Journal (ISJ) will be published.
This journal would serve for identifying and proliferation the ideals and
realities of the world, including the responsibilities of the international
community.
The
ISJ will cover major issues and debates facing the international community
on human rights, good governance, international law, and international
relations; including conflict prevention, supporting international peace
and security, terrorism, and fostering economic and social advancement.
