Founded in 1949 under the UNESCO sponsorship, the International Political Science Association (IPSA) promotes the advancement of political science through info-exchange and open collaboration among scholars worldwide. Its recently redesigned website provides plenty of updated news, calls for papers, event schedule and other relevant material — under a simple and effective interface. A direct link to Ipsaportal (on-going project covering the best 300 websites in political science) is provided, while full online access to such publications as the International Political Science Abstracts and the International Political Science Review are restricted to paid subscribers only. The IPSA congress reports and proceeding abstracts are freely available, as well as access to the IPSA Secretariat newsletter (”Participation”) and to research committees and to external resources pages. Also available is a section for international Job Postings, RSS news feeds subscription, and further links to national political science associations affiliated to IPSA, along with a complete French version of the entire content. A recently added section, Online Paper Room, provides free download of complete papers presented at the 2009 World Congress of Political Science and will soon include other relevant papers from previous IPSA International events. Overall the website provides an easy and intuitive navigation, thanks to helpful graphical elements and a perfect updating rate.
