The Practicing Politics Working Group of the American Political Science Association: Bridging the Policy-Research Divide from the Practitioner's Point of View
-
Irene S Wu
Ever see a problem on the news and realize that you have a solution buried on your hard drive, or tucked away in a research journal in a library corner? Ever wonder what it would be like if you—the eminent political scientist—were in charge of making policy decisions? Or, ever try to get information out of the government or an interview with a politician? Consider joining the Practicing Politics Working Group, a newly formed division of the American Political Science Association, your personal consulting agency. Look out at the APSA 2011 conference where we are co-sponsoring panels on: Modern Diplomacy (with Foreign Policy); The Federal Budget (with Public Administration); Technology and Development (with Information Technology and Politics); and Bilateral Trade (with International Political Economy).
