The Future of Political Science - sponsored by APSA

Abstract

Political science faces competing pressures for increased policy engagement and relevance on the one hand, and increased specialization and impact on the other. Further, general changes in the higher education environment, including limiting funding, a shift away from full-time tenured faculty, and higher expectations for performance, are creating increased challenges for political science researchers. At the same time, however, political science is becoming more diverse and internationalized, opening the discipline to new opportunities and voices. This panel will bring together academics from across Europe and the US to discuss these trends and to explore what they mean for the future of the discipline.
