IPSA is a non-profit organization that advances political science on a global scale. It builds academic networks that link scholars across regions to foster an inclusive, worldwide community. The association promotes collaboration between researchers in both established and emerging democracies and supports the academic freedoms essential for social sciences to thrive. Headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, IPSA traces its origins to Paris in 1949, when it was established under UNESCO. It affiliates with more than 61 national political science associations and, in May 2026, launched an open-access volume, IPSA Companion to Political Science: A Practical Introduction to the 200 Most Important Concepts, at its congress.
