The Political Science Program supports
scientific research that advances knowledge
and understanding of citizenship, government,
and politics. Research proposals are expected
to be theoretically motivated, conceptually
precise, methodologically rigorous, and
empirically oriented. Substantive areas
include, but are not limited to, American
government and politics,comparative government and
politics, international relations, political behavior,
political economy, and political institutions.
In recent years, program awards have supported
research projects on bargaining processes;
campaigns and elections, electoral choice,
and electoral systems; citizen support
in emerging and established democracies;
democratization, political change, and
regime transitions; domestic and international
conflict; international political economy;
party activism; political psychology and
political tolerance. The Program also
has supported research experiences for
undergraduate students and infrastructural
activities, including methodological innovations,
in the discipline.
