Partner Associations
APSA maintains relationships with other independent, external groups, specifically international and regional political science associations, as well as cognate 501(c) 3 organizations, outside of the framework of Related Groups and Organized Sections. These relationships are conducted through regularly reviewed memoranda of understanding. Agreements vary from group to group and can include a range of benefits, often reciprocal, such as panel allocation(s), advertisement space, joint-awards, and
interdisciplinary memberships. APSA does not collect membership information on behalf of partner associations. Partner Associations are not a part of the APSA governance structure.
