2009 APSA PANELS

For the first time in its 104 years, the Annual Meeting will take place outside the United States. The 2009 APSA Annual Meeting will convene in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, September 3-6, 2009. In its own small way this traveling across a border is symbolic of the multiplicity of ways in which politics is, and our discipline needs to be, in motion.
