They have examined problems of social existence amidst processes of globaliza- tion, cooperation and violent conflict. They have been conducted in the spirit which guided the formation of the IIS, namely that of an engagement and encounter between a variety of theoretical positions among members of a truly international community of scholars. The 39th World Congress will reaffirm that spirit. It will have three broad foci, namely questions concerning the way sociology can arrive at a reformulated understanding of dilemmas of humanity in the contemporary era, in- cluding the nature of war and violence, of political order and states and state-like entities, of religious and cultural encounters, of processes of collective memories, traumas and reconciliations, and of shifting conceptions of law, legal regulation, human rights and international order. The Congress will also highlight cutting-edge theoretical advances in sociology and neighboring disciplines as well as teaching and curricular developments of sociology and social science in general in universities in the fu- ture. The IIS is a community of scholars, not a union of professional associations. Thus the IIS plays a complementary rather than a competitive role relative to its younger but larger sister institution, the International Sociological Association (ISA), of which IIS itself is a member and with which IIS is engaged in close and friendly interaction. At the previous World Congresses of the IIS, the President, Vice-Presidents and former Presidents of the ISA have been present and have contributed greatly to the intellectual profile of the Congresses. This will also be the case at the 39th Congress of IIS in Yerevan. It is a delight and an honor that the current President of ISA, Michel Wieviorka, will play an important role at the Congress as well as two former Presidents of ISA, namely Margaret Archer and Im- manuel Wallerstein. We are convinced that there will be an equally strong presence of the ISA and of its Research Committees in Yerevan as well. The 39th World Congress of the IIS is jointly sponsored by Yerevan State University (YSU) and the Swedish Colle- gium for Advanced Study (SCAS). We warmly welcome you to a Congress that promises to set landmarks for the extension of sociological dialogue to new areas, arenas and regions of the world. Your personal contribution to this is invaluable. Jointly our efforts may come to have significance far beyond the days we have the privilege of spending together in Yerevan in June 2009.
