in European Political Science , Volume 9, Issue 4, November - Special Issue: Forty Years of EuropeanPolitical Science , 2010 , 38-49 | ||
The early 1950s and the late 1960s saw the setting up of many European political science organisations. The first wave was that of the foundation of an International Political Science Association and several national associations. The second was that of the creation of a Pan-European organisation: the European Consortium for Political Research. The rationale behind these two waves was different: it was very political in the 1950s and based on more properly scientific considerations in the 1960s. | ||
