Who Governs Academic Freedom in International Studies?

Replies to charges against members of the International Studies Association (ISA) in David Horowitz' book The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America (2006) to question who has the right & responsibility to determine the content of international studies. The author reflects on encroachments on his own academic freedom in Uganda & the US. Analysis of Horowitz's charges indicates the conflation of circumstances, methodological dependence on declaratory arguments, & profiling. Governance of academic freedom is related to international studies during the McCarthy period. It is concluded that, although courts of law may help protect the constitutional right to free speech, universities are accountable to themselves through regional accrediting agencies & internal evaluation.
