Background
Recognised as study group in 1982; granted research committee status in 1989.
Objectives
Promotes theoretical and research studies on the historiography and development of the discipline of political science, working with its permanent sub-committee, the International Committee for the Study of the Development of Political Science (ICSDPS).
