Society of Policy Scientists
The Society of Policy Scientists has an international membership of policy analysts, policy activists, policymakers, program practitioners, academics, and students dedicated to using and contributing to a comprehensive, problem-oriented approach to addressing important policy challenges. Members collaborate in policy evaluations and research, and share in refining, applying, and training in the policy sciences framework. The members also share a normative commitment to maximizing human dignity. Members are very active in the journal Policy Sciences, and organize the long-standing Policy Sciences Annual Institute. Membership is by the endorsement of a Society member in good standing. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO OR TO JOIN!
POLICY SCIENCES JOURNAL
Policy Sciences, which began publication in 1970, is now a publication of the Society. The Society has a primary responsibility for selecting its editor whenever the editorship becomes vacant. A subscription to Policy Sciences is included with payment of Society membership dues.
Society of Policy Scientists Annual Institute
The Policy Sciences Annual Institute, pre-dating the 1995 founding of the Society of Policy Scientists, is the major forum for sharing members’ research and reports on their practical contributions to programs and policy. It also offers training to familiarize attendees with the nuances of the policy sciences approach, and to reach out to others interested in the policy sciences as a prominent approach to policy analysis and action.
