About the Conference
The PSA is one of the world's longest established political studies associations.
The 61st Annual Conference fell 20 years after the end of the Cold War and just
1 year after a historical electoral outcome in Britain. The Conference offered a
timely opportunity to debate the extent to which political act and thought had
been transformed in recent years and to consider the potency of the new
synergies that had emerged. We sought this year to build on past successes and
continue with recent innovations. We were particularly interested in promoting
cross-disciplinary participation and in showcasing collaborative research. The
London location of the 2011 PSA Conference facilitated the participation of
scholars and practitioners based abroad as well as in the UK. Particular aims
for 2011 included:
- Encouraging a multi-disciplinary presence
- Continuing with developing the international presence further through links with
other associations such as APSA, ECPR and IPSA
- Connecting academic research to practice by establishing a wider practitioner
presence at the Conference and instituting a plenary Academic – Practitioner
debate
