Organized research endeavors in politics

Politics-sponsored research endeavors

Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs

Politics directly sponsors two formally organized research endeavors at Princeton:

In addition to these formal endeavors, Politics faculty collaborate informally and extensively among themselves and with colleagues in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Department of Economics, Department of Sociology, Department of Psychology, University Center for Human Values and other academic departments throughout Princeton. 

Of course, most faculty also collaborate with colleagues at other institutions, domestically and internationally. Many also work to advance scholarship as leaders of disciplinary organizations such as the American Political Science Association, editors of journals, and advisers to organizations funding research on politics.


Co-sponsored and collegial endeavors


Along with the Bobst Center and Madison Program, Politics co-sponsors a number of centers and programs with other Princeton organizations; most often, the Department of Economics and the Woodrow Wilson School. Among these endeavors are:

In addition to directly sponsored and co-sponsored programs, faculty and students in Politics benefit from a rich environment of centers and programs whose missions intersect in many ways with the interests of the department's various research communities.

The Collegial endeavors menu item on the left provides a selective listing of these and other centers and programs most closely connected to Politics by common intellectual interests and organizational ties. Many of these collegial centers and programs are as important to the ethos of the Department of Politics as is the department's core community.
