The 102nd APSA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia refocused the discipline's take on the true crux of politics: power. Program Co-Chairs Judith Goldstein of Stanford University and Rick Valelly of Swarthmore College worked closely with plenary speakers, theme panel participants, and with a 51-person Program Committee drawn from all of APSA's 35 organized sections to realize their central vision: a revival of the discipline's examination of how power is used (and abused) in politics.
