==Function==
==History==
There is a high level of cooperation between the states of the AIS on a wide range of matters, including science, diplomacy and economy. Notable cooperative projects include spaceprogram?, while the AIS is also linked to various institutions, such as the International Institute for Social Healthcare, which was founded by the [[Association of Emerging Socialist Economies]] but became affiliated with AIS after the latter organisation's collapse.  
===Background===
The [[Association of Emerging Socialist Economies]] (AESE) was an organisation of pro-socialist countries all across [[Coius]] and the [[Asterias]], sponsored by countries in [[Euclea]]. It had gained particular momentum in the wake of decolonisation, and was particularly strong in central and northern Coius. Around the world, a great deal of socialist thought and attention was on the subject of decolonisation, and the new and unique structures and systems that came with it.
 
However, as the decolonial process came to an end, its internal contradictions came to the fore. Many of its members pursued heterodox forms of socialism, or were in fact not at all socialist but in name; the AESE and its members were very catholic about what constituted socialism in the developing world. The geopolitical turmoil of the Satrian Wars, the Dezevauni-Zorasani War, the unification of Zorasan (including the Irvadistan War), the fall of Equalism in Amathia and more combined with the effects of the 1980 recession to produce widespread regime change and realignment.
 
Socialism in the developing world was one of the big losers from these changes, which would later produce the conditions for globalised neoliberalism to come to the fore. Many regimes abandoned the trappings of socialist ideology as it was no longer useful for shoring their popularity up, while in others, changes in voting patterns, internal conflict, or even civil war dispossessed the socialists. In many countries, socialism was taken as having failed to produce progress, and as the ideology of the ruling classes (whether fairly or unfairly). Groupings opposed to socialism such as [[ROSPO]], [[COMSED]] and the [[Euclean Community]] supported these changes.
 
With the existence of socialists in the global order under threat, the Association for International Socialism was formed in 1980 when it was clear that the AESE would soon cease to function. While there were fundamental and long-term issues with various socialist regimes and factions around the world, the AIS' priorities were on reactive, defensive, often military measures to guard against further losses. Its early development reflected this function, but wider links were rapidly developed as countries which remained socialist sought to find their new places in the global order. Insofar as the AESE was centred on Coius, where the greatest number of socialist regimes collapsed, Euclean socialism became proportionally stronger in the global context.  


==History==
==Functions==
The AIS ??? the [[Association of Emerging Socialist Economies]], which was disestablished in 1988. The AIS is also related to InterCon, which is a gathering of non-state parties and individuals where the AIS is for states. It was founded in 1980 in the aftermath of the [[Irvadistan War]].
There is a high level of cooperation between the states of the Association for International Socialism on a wide range of matters, including science, diplomacy, defence, culture and economy. Many institutions or bodies are part of or linked to the AIS, operating with relation to those topics; many institutions were adopted by the AIS after having previously been independent or affiliated with the AESE or other defunct socialist organisations, while many others were founded by and as part of the AIS itself.
 
The document which formally creates the AIS is the Treaty of Priedīši (1980); its provisions provide for mutual defence, renunciation of claims on other members' territory, declaration of friendship, avoidance of protectionism and sharing of certain intel and technology, and further cooperation to be elaborated upon by subsequent AIS action. In practice, ties within AIS are tight, and also given the lack of emphasis on adjudication or enforcement of treaty terms, actions are generally taken executively, and consensually.
===Secretariat===
The Secretariat is the executive arm of the AIS. Its main role is the implementation of decisions made by the committees of the organisation. It is led by the General Secretary who serves as the organisation's leader as its chief administrator. 
===Military Committee===
The Military Committee coordinates military activity between AIS members, though in practice, planning is mostly done at a regional level, for instance between members of the [[Brown Sea Community]] or [[Mutual Assistance Organisation]].
 
===Diplomatic Committee===
The Diplomatic Committee coordinates diplomatic stances of members globally, and is in some ways the mouthpiece for the organisation internationally. As a result, the Chairperson of this committee has major influence in international politics. 
 
===AIS Intelligence Council===
The AIS Intelligence Council coordinates on matters of intelligence, espionage and other special operations. Its activities, compared to others of AIS, are opaque, and not widely publicised.
 
===AIS Energy Commission===
The AIS Energy Commission helps member states in matters of energy, in terms of encouraging renewable and clean energy, coordinating sales and gifts of energy or equipment, making recommendations on power generation and consumption policy and infrastructure, and so on.
 
===Common Space Agency===
The Common Space Agency, also sometimes referred to metonymously as the Red Star (not to be confused with the [[Games of the Red Star]]), is the space agency of the AIS. It is one of the largest space agencies in the world, and is considered the successor to xxx xxx xxx in the 1960s.
 
===AIS Council for Nuclear Research===
The AIS Council for Nuclear Research is considered a spiritual successor to the Atomic Foundation for Emerging Socialism, which was founded by the [[Association of Emerging Socialist Economies]]. It is a centre that deals with nuclear research in all its forms, ranging from weapons to power generation to imaging.
 
===AIS Development Fund===
The AIS Development Fund is a body formed to promote development in AIS member states. Its main recipients are [[Arthasthan]] and [[Lavana]]. 
 
===AIS Commission on Migration===
The AIS Commission on Migration deals with migration issues; it helps coordinate and harmonise requirements and criteria for migration from state to state within the AIS, and also helps migrants themselves, who may sometimes be stateless. A long term goal of the Commission on Migration is to achieve full freedom of movement within the AIS by solving domestic obstacles to such a scheme.
 
===Cultural and Media Foundation===
The Cultural and Media Foundation deals with matters including heritage, publishing, art, news media and the Internet within the AIS. It provides platforms for promoting, documenting and developing culture, as well as promoting cultural interchange and understanding within the AIS. The Cultural and Media Foundation has interactions with commissions of the [[Community of Nations]].
 
===AIS Legal and Judicial Commission===
The AIS Legal and Judicial Commission makes recommendations, conducts research and helps member states in matters relating to their legal systems or systems of law in which they partake. Its priorities are issues such as the rule of law, anti-corruption, process, and international harmonisation. The Legal and Judicial Commission is somewhat associated with the growing trend of regard for the separation of powers in socialist countries which traditionally rejected the notion.
 
===AIS Facility for Industry===
The AIS Facility for Industry is a largely formalistic institution which coordinates the sharing and dispersion of scientific, technological and industrial knowhow within the AIS. In some ways, it functions in the same way that agreements about intellectual property might between capitalist countries; some of its functions have been taken over by other AIS bodies due to the growing importance of notions such as R&D and flexibility, and the high levels of accessibility to information provided by other transparent institutions as well as innovations such as the Internet. 
 
===International Institute for Social Healthcare===
The International Institute for Social Healthcare is an institution founded by the Association of Emerging Socialist Economies, and centred in [[Gagaga]], [[Dezevau]]. It is a think tank whose work is on the socialisation of and maintenance of robust, public, socialised healthcare systems.

History

Background

The Association of Emerging Socialist Economies (AESE) was an organisation of pro-socialist countries all across Coius and the Asterias, sponsored by countries in Euclea. It had gained particular momentum in the wake of decolonisation, and was particularly strong in central and northern Coius. Around the world, a great deal of socialist thought and attention was on the subject of decolonisation, and the new and unique structures and systems that came with it.

However, as the decolonial process came to an end, its internal contradictions came to the fore. Many of its members pursued heterodox forms of socialism, or were in fact not at all socialist but in name; the AESE and its members were very catholic about what constituted socialism in the developing world. The geopolitical turmoil of the Satrian Wars, the Dezevauni-Zorasani War, the unification of Zorasan (including the Irvadistan War), the fall of Equalism in Amathia and more combined with the effects of the 1980 recession to produce widespread regime change and realignment.

Socialism in the developing world was one of the big losers from these changes, which would later produce the conditions for globalised neoliberalism to come to the fore. Many regimes abandoned the trappings of socialist ideology as it was no longer useful for shoring their popularity up, while in others, changes in voting patterns, internal conflict, or even civil war dispossessed the socialists. In many countries, socialism was taken as having failed to produce progress, and as the ideology of the ruling classes (whether fairly or unfairly). Groupings opposed to socialism such as ROSPO, COMSED and the Euclean Community supported these changes.

With the existence of socialists in the global order under threat, the Association for International Socialism was formed in 1980 when it was clear that the AESE would soon cease to function. While there were fundamental and long-term issues with various socialist regimes and factions around the world, the AIS' priorities were on reactive, defensive, often military measures to guard against further losses.
