Academic linkage
Here is the embarrassingly long list of academic links that I collected over time, using my del.icio.us account to bookmark and categorize them in the first place. More than you shake a stick at, undoubtedly.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. Albert Einstein

Associations françaises
Aux côtés de l’AFSP deux autres associations représentent la discipline, l’Association des enseignants et chercheurs en science politique (AECSP) et l’Association pour la promotion des candidats aux métiers de la science politique (ANCMSP). Dans le contexte de crise actuelle, il est indispensable de coordonner nos efforts, de faire front commun, si nous voulons devenir un interlocuteur crédible pour les pouvoirs publics, faire entendre notre voix.
