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:
- The Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for International Peace and Justice
- The James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions
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:
- The Center for the Study of Democratic Politics co-sponsored with the Woodrow Wilson School.
- The Princeton Laboratory for Experimental Social Science, co-sponsored with the Department of Economics, with additional support from the Provost and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
- The Research Program in Political Economy, co-sponsored with the Department of Economics and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
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.
