SECTION 46: IDEAS, KNOWLEDGE AND POLITICS

Formed: 2014 / Dues: $0 for student members and $10 for all other members

To understand political decisions and actions, it is necessary to study the sources and content of our political beliefs. To assess these decisions and actions, we need to study whether our political beliefs are accurate. Why do different people interpret the political world in different ways? How do they interpret either their own interests or the public interest; from what sources are these interpretations drawn; and how do these interpretations motivate political action? Given political actors’ imperfect knowledge, how do they try to approximate full knowledge of the likely consequences of their actions, and how successful are these attempts? Under what conditions do political beliefs tend to be true? These questions have tended to be neglected within political science, with the result that our understandings of political processes are often incomplete. By addressing itself to the sources and the accuracy of our political beliefs, political epistemology seeks to fill a significant lacuna in political science and political theory.

SECTION 52: FORMAL THEORY

Formed: 2020 / Dues: $0 for Students, $25 for other members.

Formal theory is a methodology which is used by a large and central group of political scientists across the subfields of the discipline. The mission of the Formal Theory. Section will consist of three components. First, by raising the institutional visibility of the subfield and individual formal theorists, the Formal Theory Section will provide additional opportunities to promote and encourage formal theory research and training to others in the discipline. Second, because formal theorists are concentrated in a relatively small number of institutions, the Formal Theory Section will provide opportunities for engagement that will increase diversity within the subfield and expand the range of application of formal theoretical methods. Third, by developing a set of persistent institutions, the Formal Theory Section will enable scholars in the subfield to more easily collaborate, share information and develop best practices (in, for example, research and teaching).
