PSA Conference

EPOP is convening a total of nine panels at this year’s PSA conference in Swansea.  One of these papers is from Iain McLean and his colleagues, offering the results of a survey of academic politics journals.  It ranks 92 journals, based on surveys of academic colleagues, and gives results for those in the UK, Canada, and the US.  They report very little difference between the different countries - although Brits rank the BJPS top, compared to North Americans who give the APSR top spot.

Even if a hung parliament arises, electoral reform may not be initiated; even if electoral reform is initiated, it may not be enacted; even […]

  • The envelopes die in vain

    Amid all the hoo-ha about British MPs expenses - fridges, sofas, and food allowances - what about the electoral advantage of being able to spend over a 100 grand a year digging into your constituency?  Yet as Ron Johnston and Charles Pattie show in this paper, there appears to be no relationship at all between parliamentary […]
