From the editors / un mot de la rédaction

Last August the Canadian Political Science Association and the Société québécoise de science politique met for the first time in conjunction with the Eighteenth World Congress of the International Political Science Association and this issue of the Bulletin features a number of reports and reflections on both the shared meetings and, more generally, the conduct of the Annual General Meeting and its programme. Lloyd Brown-John of the University of Windsor volunteered to survey CPSA members on the issue of joint meetings with the Congress of the Social Sciences and Humanities and presented a lengthy report to the Board of Directors of the CPSA earlier this year. Lloyd has provided a digest of his report (see "Going-it-Alone or Staying with the Learneds") which goes beyond the organisation of the AGM to cover a much wider range of issues that have been troubling the membership. One of the questions raised in members' comments on the survey is whether the increas- ing concentration on research networks has reduced the importance of the national associa- tion. In addition, since the creation of the Société québécoise de science politique, we have seen regional political science associations appear in both British Columbia and the Atlan- tic provinces. Michael Howlett and Norman Ruff have contributed a report on the history, structure and activities of the British Columbia Political Science Association which was established in 1995. As part of our ongoing commitment to reporting on working lives, we asked a graduate student, Paula Trachy of McMaster University, to give us a glimpse into how participant observation and field work can take you a world away from the comforts of your office. Graduate students across Canada have been developing their own outlets for scholarly communication and we invited the editors of Innovations, a journal based in the University of Calgary, to outline their activities. The Bulletin has easy access to graduate students and political scientists who have uni- versity and college affiliations, but we know that that are substantial numbers of graduate political scientists who are doing professional work in both the public and private sectors. We encourage those who receive the Bulletin to contact us with suggestions for articles featuring their work. The job market continues to improve, and the increasing volume of listings that led the Editors to begin posting a monthly update on the CPSA web site1 earlier this year now in- cludes both a larger proportion of tenure-track positions and a greater number of Depart- ments advertising. As our President puts it, "things are going well with the Canadian Po- litical Science Association," and we look forward to the opportunities for renewal that will occur as we re-tool for the twenty-first century.

To avoid reducing the issue to simply an opinion poll, I purposely did not ask a specific focus question: "Do you want to go it alone or stay with the Learneds?" It seemed that the issue was not one for which a "vote" should be taken. Instead, I asked a pair of 'comment - justification' questions. Note that all comments received were recorded in the Report to the CPSA Board.

Can you suggest some benefits and/or reasons for retaining the CPSA's present Annual Conference format, that is, under the Humanities and Social Sciences Federation auspices as an Annual Learned Societies event? / Pou- vez-vous indiquer les avantages et/ou les raisons de garder le format actuel du congrès annuel de l'ACSP, c'est-à- dire un événement du Congrès annuel des sociétés savantes tenu sous les auspices de la Fédération canadienne des sciences humaines et sociales?

7 Many comments were offered by CPSA Members, but generally they clustered around four basic themes: (1) the relationship between political science and cognate disciplines; (2) administrative costs; (3) the place of Publish- ers' displays; and, (4) tradition and need.

The second question was the reverse of the first and provoked some rather harsh views on recent Annual Conference locations:

Can you suggest some benefits and/or reasons for abandoning the CPSA's present Annual Conference format, that is, under the Humanities and Social Sciences Federation auspices as an Annual Learned Societies event? / Pouvez-vous indiquer les avantages et/ou les raisons de renoncer le format actuel du congrès annuel de l'ACSP, c'est-à-dire un événement du Congrès annuel des sociétés savantes tenu sous les auspices de la Fédération cana- dienne des sciences humaines et sociales?

Generally these comments can be grouped into four categories: (1) Location; (2) Costs; (3) Ownership and Size; and (4) Other.

On the whole, there was overwhelming support for the annual CPSA/ACSP Conference being part of the HSSFC "Learneds." In an effort to place the Annual Conference in an historical perspective, I sought a bit of background from Members. For example, I asked the year of most recent Conference attendance:

I then asked about the capacity in which respondent CPSA Members had attended their most recent Annual Con- ference:

One often encounters a host of explanations for why a person does or does not attend an Annual Conference, so I thought it worth exploring those considerations which might have an influence upon one's decision to attend and/or participate [total Frequencies vary as not all respondents completed all categories]:

Very Important/ Important/ Not very Important/ frequency (%) frequency (%) frequency (%) Location (City or University) 44 (43.6) 38 (37.6) 19 (18.8) Conference programme 29 (29.3) 49 (49.5) 21 (21.2) Costs: - Registration 7 (7.1) 32 (32.3) 60 (60.6) - Accommodation 11 (11.7) 38 (40.4) 45 (47.9) - Travel 29 (30.2) 40 (41.7) 27 (28.1) Opportunities to participate 45 (47.9) 38 (40.4) 11 (11.7) Opportunities to meet colleagues 68 (67.3) 30 (29.7) 3 (3.0) Opportunities to learn of new research in my field 52 (52.0) 34 (34.0) 14 (14.0) Opportunities to present my research 48 (46.0) 46 (46.0) 8 (8.0) Social events/Book displays 15 (15.0) 57 (57.0) 28 (28.0)

11 There is also a problem of "specialisation," an "abundance of professional and theme-related conferences" and, of course, the very limited ability for individuals to fund conference participation. For example, the Ameri- can Political Science Association has been flooded with paper proposals (since an invitation equals some fund- ing). As a result, limits are now being placed upon total numbers of participants and panels.

Given the opportunity to attend a wide range of provincial, regional, national and international conferences, it seemed appropriate to ask how respondents viewed the CPSA Annual Conference relative to alternatives:

Conference Programme Content

There are some serious concerns about the con- thought they might. I would therefore humbly tent of the annual CPSA/ACSP Conference which recommend that the Program Committee revisit cluster around at least five issues: (1) the use of sin- the structure of the panels, and return to the pre- gle paper panels; (2) the role of graduate students as 1996 structure of having panels with 3 or 4 pa- panellists; (3) the apparent absence of "big name" per-givers who are incredibly verbose and take political scientists; (4) increased specialisation and up 94 percent of the panel time, followed by a dispersal within the discipline; and, (5) an over discussant who consumes a further 5 percent abundance of unilingual sessions.

SSRC Fellowships on Information Technology, International Cooperation and Global Security

The Social Science Research Council is pleased to announce the availability of new summer fel- lowships for innovative research on information technology (IT), international cooperation and global security. PhD students and faculty from any academic discipline and of any nationality may apply. These in-residence fellowships, for summer 2001, are designed for researchers who currently work on cooperation and security issues and who want to explore the role and impact of IT in this area; or for researchers who work on IT and want to explore its relationship to cooperation and security.

International cooperation and global security involve a wide range of issues including new forms of global regulation and surveillance; transboundary advocacy and global civil society; economic and po- litical "crisis" and transformation; unequal access to goods and services; transnational identity politics; conflict and transboundary intervention; military and warfare practices; and power and authority in the global realm. IT issues could involve the Internet and related technologies such as those associated with telecommunications, data processing, encryption, and systems of code; robotics, automation, and simulation; and concerns bearing directly on connectivity and content such as structures of informa- tion flow and processes of disinformation and dissemination.

Deadline: January 12, 2001 (mailed from inside U.S.) and January 22 (all others)
