The Caucus for a New Political Science organizes the New Political Science Section of the American Political Science Association
As a section of the APSA, New Political Science organizes a group of panels at each annnual meeting, often in cooperation with other organized sections of the APSA. Members of the Section and other interested persons are urged to attend these sessions at each year's meetings as the number of panels that we are allowed to sponsor by the APSA is dependent on attendance.
Members of the APSA may join the Section and thus the Caucus when they pay their annual association dues. Paid-up members of the section receive New Political Science as part of their membership. Section dues are $20.
