NEW ISSUE OF IPSR PUBLISHED
 
The latest issue of the International Political Science Review (IPSR) for March 2023 (Volume 44, Number 2) includes nine original research articles. In the broadest sense, all of the articles tackle questions of democracy. For instance, Lauth et al. look at deficient democracies and discuss the value of having several subtypes. In another important piece, van Mierlo looks at attrition as a pathway to subnational democratization. With a more direct focus on electoral processes, Maier and Nai map the drivers of negative campaigning cross-nationally, whereas Cheng et al. focus on the link between life satisfaction and political participation. Coffe and Reiser present important new findings that demonstrate that perceptions about women's descriptive representation can influence substantive representation.
 
The final four pieces by Pless et al., Seaton & Wu, Nakatani, and Zuo et al., look at religious and secular values, the effect of emotions in presidential speeches, how the political decision-making process influences the acceptability of decisions, and how anti-poverty campaigns can trigger political trust, respectively.
 
IPSA members can access the full IPSR archive dating back to 1980 through the MyIPSA menu.
 
DISCOVER SCIENCES PO’S 150 YEARS OF HISTORY USING
THE DIGITAL TIMELINE
 
Sciences Po Paris (the Paris Institute of Political Studies or l’Institut d'études politiques de Paris) celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2022 by organizing various academic and cultural events.
 
To mark this anniversary, Sciences Po also created a digital timeline charting “150 Years of History” on its website. The timeline tells the story of Sciences Po since its founding in 1872 and offers rich content about the evolution of political science in France and the relationship between IPSA and the French Political Science Association. The timeline also has sections about IPSA’s Secretaries-General, including Prof. Serge Hurtig, who played a crucial role in the development of IPSA from 1960 to his passing in 2019.
