Welcome to the home page of the Political Economy Section of the American Political Science Association. The primary purpose of this site is to provide information to section members about the organization of the section and the association, conferences, funding opportunities, prizes and awards, and new research in the field of political economy. The site also provides an archive for past issues of our newsletter, The Political Economist, which publishes section news and feature essays by notable political economists. There is also a link to the Political Economy Working Paper Archive at the University of Michigan, which provides electronic access to new research in the field.
