International Political Science Association (IPSA)

IPSA has been a member since 1952.

IPSA was founded in Paris in 1949 under the aegis of UNESCO.

The special mandate of IPSA, expressed in its Constitution, is to support the development of political science in all parts of the world, building academic networks linking East and West, North and South. Its aim is to create an inclusive and global political science community in which all can participate. It seeks to promote collaboration between scholars in emerging and established democracies and to support the academic freedoms needed for the social sciences to flourish.
