NEW POLITICAL SCIENCE

NPS @ APSA 2019 Events listed are open to all, Join us!

The Caucus for a New Political Science was founded in 1967 to make the study of politics relevant to the struggle for a better world. The Caucus includes political scientists of diverse viewpoints, but it is united methodologically by a critique of extreme behavioralism and by the idea that political science should abandon the myth of a value-free science. The Caucus sponsors the APSA Organized Section, the journal New Political Science, a book series through SUNY Press, and holds a biannual independent conference.
