Abstract

International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES or Union) is the oldest international organization in anthropological science since it was organized in 1948. It has a world congress once in 5 years and some inter-congresses between two world congresses. Specific activities consistent with the objectives of the Union are carried out within the framework of the study groups called Commissions. It might be well remembered that the world congress was held in Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto) in 1968 and the Inter-congress was also held in Tokyo in 2002.<br> There is a new wave of information exchange at the global level of anthropology. World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA) was organized in Brazil 2004. This organization is a network of national and international associations that aims to promote worldwide communication and cooperation in anthropology. Its primary objectives are: to promote the discipline of anthropology in an international context; to promote cooperation and the sharing of information among world anthropologists; to promote jointly organized events of scientific debate and cooperation in research activities and dissemination of anthropological knowledge. Some problems and information arised in these organizations were discussed in this articlre.<br>
