DIRECTORATE FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SCIENCES (SES)
Political Sciences
The Political Science Program supports scientific research that advances
knowledge and understanding of citizenship, government, and politics.
Research proposals are expected to be theoretically motivated, conceptually
precise, methodologically rigorous, and empirically oriented. Substantive
areas include, but are not limited to, American government and
politics,comparative government and politics, international relations,
political behavior, political economy, and political institutions.
In recent years, program awards have supported research projects on
bargaining processes; campaigns and elections, electoral choice, and
electoral systems; citizen support in emerging and established democracies;
democratization, political change, and regime transitions; domestic and
international conflict; international political economy; party activism;
political psychology and political tolerance. The Program also has supported
research experiences for undergraduate students and infrastructural
activities, including methodological innovations, in the discipline.
