Introducing the APSA Task Force on Political Parties

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Session Description

In 2022, APSA commissioned a new Presidential Task Force on Political Parties. The ultimate purpose of this Task Force is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the ways in which political parties can be responsible promoters of democracy, to prevent a decline into a more authoritarian form of government. The Task Force will achieve this goal by highlighting insights rooted in the academic literature that can inform policy development and strategy. This roundtable discussion will introduce the Task Force and preview its work and forthcoming report.
