Announcement of the Inauguration of the Israeli Association for Military-Society Studies

The newly-born Israeli Association for Military-Society Studies is inspired and motivated by the IUS, and we expect a significant overlap in our membership. Indeed, membership in our new association should help draw other scholars to the IUS. We hope it will be not only a network of researchers, but also a 'family of colleagues' and an incubator for innovative ideas and influence on national policy -- as is true also for the IUS.
