	Platt, Jennifer. Fifty Years of the International Social Science Council International Social Science Review - Find ...
		Established in the fall of 1952 pursuant to a resolution passed a year earlier by the Sixth UNESCO General Conference, the International Social Science Council (ISSC) was the product of a post-World War II optimism about the educative function of social science in eradicating the intellectual climate that created fascism.
		In Fifty Years of the International Social Science Council, Jennifer Platt, a British historian of sociology, has updated F. Baker's 1992 unpublished study, Forty Years of the International Social Science Council: The Evolution of the Social Sciences.
		She notes that perhaps one of the most significant changes during the course of the ISSC's history was its 1972 transformation into a federation of eleven international disciplinary associations, a strategy that facilitated greater autonomy for the council.
