About religion and politics in IPSA/AISP

The Religion and Politics research committee (RC 43) has been in existence some 20 years, probably the oldest academic platform for this topic.  It is certainly uniquely positioned to reach the academics worldwide working on this topic, one of the most important topics of our time.

According to the IPSA webpage:

“one of the most dynamic areas of growth within IPSA has been the activity of its research committees and study groups. In addition to organizing panels at the triennial congresses, research committees and study groups organize their own meetings between congresses, publish newsletters and issue other publications”

RC 43 on Religion and Politics plans to follow this pattern.
