The 2006 APSA Annual Meeting will convene in Philadelphia, PA on August 31 – Sept 3, 2006. What better place than the birthplace of our nation to discuss this 2006 theme, “Power Reconsidered.” 2006 Program Chairs Judy Goldstein and Rick Valelly are inviting participants to address the fundamental question of whether and how the concept of power informs political science. Hosted by the Philadelphia Marriott, the Loews Philadelphia and the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the 2006 Annual Meeting will feature compelling discussions of this theme as well as current issues in political science and the public sphere.
