As a nonprofit organization founded in 1880, The Academy of Political Science promotes accessible scholarly analysis of national and international government, politics, and policy. The expert analyses by authors in the Academy's journal—Political Science Quarterly—and the insights shared by panelists through events contribute to the examination of issues of public concern. Published continually since 1886, Political Science Quarterly is a peer-reviewed journal. Broad in its subject matter and dedicated to objective analysis based on evidence, PSQ examines both American and international contemporary issues in politics to inform public debate. The journal is edited to be accessible to scholars, students, and informed citizens who have a serious interest in public and international affairs.
