Policy Studies Organization Meetings 2011-2012

The PSO sponsors and organizes several academic meetings throughout the year, whose seasonal regularity has become an important characteristic. These meetings are always interesting opportunities for co-sponsorship that tend to end up in journals' special issues or part of our book series program.
