It will contain 160 different panels, representing the variety in substantive focus and method that has become a hallmark of our discipline. Its almost 900 panelists will come from virtually every American state and a few foreign nations, from large universities as well as small colleges, from academic institutions and nonacademic research and policy positions to which political scientists have increasingly been drawn in recent decades. This rich diversity in panelists is more evidence that the Midwest Meetings have outgrown their original roots. Midwestern in name only, they have become important national meetings for political scientists. Diversity also is reflected in the theme of the 1991 Annual Meeting, "The Interdisciplinary Foundations of Political Science." Our discipline has drawn in significant ways on other disciplines (biology, economics, history, linguistics, psychology, sociology, just to name a few) for both theory and method. The interdisciplinary theme is designed to acknowledge these contributions and to examine their importance -- past, present, and future -- to political science. This theme is expressed in substantive panels scattered throughout the program. The principal vehicle for expressing this theme, though, is a plenary session to be held on Thursday, April 18, at 8:30 p.m. Entitled "The Interdisciplinary Foundations of Political Science," this session will bring together, in roundtable format, four prominent political scientists
