Brill to Publish The Yearbook of International Organizations

 

PRESS RELEASE

 

 

 

 

Academic publisher Brill announces its plans to publish The Yearbook of International Organizations: Guide to Global and Civil Society Networks (YBIO), the flagship publication of the Union of International Associations (UIA), based in Brussels, Belgium.

 

The Yearbook of International Organizations provides the most comprehensive coverage of non-profit international organizations to date. The printed edition, published annually since 1948 and now in six volumes, and the online edition, published since 2000, consists of approximately 64,000 transnational civil society organizations in 300 countries and territories, and includes approximately 1,200 new entries each year.

 

The online edition provides access to the whole organization database of the UIA, and includes extensive hyperlinks to other databases of the organization, including the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential. Available via annual subscription, the online edition will be hosted by the UIA and sold exclusively by Brill.

 

Founded in 1907, the UIA is an international not-for-profit non-governmental organization focused on the research and documentation of international organizations and associations on a global scale and the challenges they face.

 

Complimenting Brill’s International Relations and International Law lists, as well as the “International Year Book and Statesmen’s Who’s Who” the YBIO’s print and online editions offer synergies to ongoing activities.

It was founded over one hundred years ago, by Henri La Fontaine (Nobel Peace Prize laureate of 1913), and Paul Otlet, a founding father of what is now called information science. Non-profit, apolitical, independent, and non-governmental in nature, the UIA has been a pioneer in the research, monitoring and provision of information on international organizations, international associations and their global challenges since 1907.
