Welcome to the website for the Standing Group on International Relations. Following the recent elections, we are pleased to confirm that the new SGIR Steering Committee consists of Dr Lisa Dellmuth (Senior Lecturer in International Relations at the Department of Economic History and a Research Fellow at the Department of Political Science at Stockholm University), Dr Manuela Moschella (Associate Professor in International Political Economy at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa) and Dr Piki Ish-Shalom (The A. Ephraim and Shirley Diamond Family Chair in International Relations and Associate Professor at the Department of International Relations, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem). The new committee members will take on the responsibilities as follows: Lisa Dellmuth will act as Convenor; Piki Ish-Shalom will act as Secretary; and Manuela Moschella will act as Treasurer.

Following their election, the new members of the Steering Committee issued the following statement:

‘We very much welcome the opportunity to serve as members of the Steering Committee of SGIR. We will work to reestablish SGIR as an energetic and inclusive Standing Group able to deliver its distinctive intellectual contributions within the European academic community. We will also work to develop scholarly networks, and accord a special importance to build cooperative working interactions with EISA and other relevant European associations. Our goal is an enriching academic network, dedicated for research and the training of future generations of scholars in all areas of IR. We welcome any suggestion and advice from all members of SGIR.’

Lisa Dellmuth, Manuela Moschella and Piki Ish-Shalom will take office as soon as the formal agreement outlining the cooperation and division of labour between SGIR and EISA has been signed.
