International Programs
APSA’s Department of International Programs works to advance political science scholarship by promoting closer interaction between political scientists based in and outside the United States, as well as providing opportunities to share and learn from a wide range of substantive and methodological interests. Enhancing APSA’s internationalization benefits the discipline by expanding networks, enriching theories, and broadening perspectives. For more information on APSA’s international projects and initiatives, contact Andrew Stinson at astinson@apsanet.org.

Each RDG features a short course with discussion panels with research from invited scholars. Discussion will be moderated by faculty from the US, with a goal of identifying key areas for improvement in pursuit of publication in peer-reviewed journals. The courses are open to enrollment from any APSA member interested in networking with scholars from Africa, the Arab Middle East, Southeast Asia, and other regions.
