From its inception, the Institute of Political Science has been a hub of excellent research on various aspects of European integration and economic policy making. Over the course of the past several years, driven in large part thanks to substantial grants from different schemes of the Fonds National de la Recherche and the European Research Council, the Institute has expanded substantially in staff and research coverage. Although focusing on a very diverse array of topics, the work of IPS researchers has three things in common.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
First, it is firmly centered on European politics broadly defined. Second, it has clear relevance for regional, national, and European policymakers. And third, it is committed to methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary pluralism. Research outputs of IPS scholars \u2013 both qualitative and quantitative, but most often multimethod and multidisciplinary \u2013 have appeared in some of the best journals in the field such as the Journal of Common Market Studies, Party Politics, Public Administration, Public Opinion Quarterly, West European Politics, and many others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
