General Information

The Political Studies Association of Ireland has no staff, and around 300 individual members from across the world. It represents researchers and postgraduate students with an interest in Irish politics, as well as members of the Irish political science community whatever their disciplinary specialize. The PSAI is funded primarily through an annual membership fee, though some additional income derives from its annual conference and from publications. The PSAI holds an annual conference each October; holds an annual postgraduate conference in the Spring; produces a monthly newsletter for members; produces a quarterly academic journal, Irish Political Studies; and has a number of specialist groups open to members who share a particular research interest.
