Undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate political science students, as well as those from related fields, can become members of our global IAPSS Community
We advocate for improvements to Political Science education and student interests in general at the national, continental, and global levels.
Our portfolio and annual agenda provided with great dedication to our members are built up around three pillars. In each pillar, we conceptualize and realize activities, projects, and services that contribute to the academic, personal, and social development of our members. Worldwide. 365 days all year long.

Individuals have a central role within IAPSS. Not only do they have voting rights at the General Assemblies and can thus actively shape the future of IAPSS, but they also benefit from our broad range of services. IAPSS is the largest and only international representation of political science students on the globe. Join to be part of our association and get access to all of these benefits.

On 31st October 2018, IAPSS celebrated its 20th Anniversary. To celebrate this important achievement, IAPSS launched the Regionalisation Project, with the aim of making IAPSS a more accessible, inclusive, and global association. IAPSS regional chapters represent all inhabited continents and are ready to give opportunities to all the political science students from all parts of the world. By regionalizing, IAPSS creates new pathways to inclusiveness. IAPSS understands that entities with regional focus and responsibility are far better able to understand language barriers, cultural traits, or particular interests of students in the region.
Through the incorporation of a federal system, IAPSS fosters a sustainable environment for an organization that aspires to be recognized as an important factor in the field of youth education advocacy and representation of students in all four corners of the globe. By fostering regional partnerships, IAPSS’ presence will be established on a much more local level through wisely tapping into the local knowledge and connections of our partners. These create local points of access and participation for those who do not have the means to travel long-distance to our core events. Regionalising IAPSS does not mean disaggregating, but de-centralizing. Regionalization reshapes our identity. IAPSS is an organization that draws power from the expertise and not hierarchy, which is where our full potential lies.
