The Congress will provide you with a prime opportunity to debate the timely and pressing issues that the global political science community faces today and connect with local, regional, and global scholars. In addition to plenaries, general tracks, research committee tracks, and special events organized by IPSA, the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) will feature a variety of tracks, such as Asian Politics, International Relations of East Asia, Emerging Issues in Asia, and three Korean Political Science Association (KPSA) tracks on Korean Politics. Other special LOC tracks include partner sessions sponsored by major public and academic institutions in South Korea and a collaborative track involving KPSA, JPSA (Japanese Political Science Association), and CAPS (Chinese Association of Political Science, Taipei). To demonstrate our commitment and support for the advancement of the global political science community, the LOC will secure and allocate funds for travel grants to be awarded to our colleagues from the Global South, in accordance with the criteria established by IPSA.
