The purpose of SPSA is to publish professional journals, to improve teaching, to promote interest and research in theoretical and practical political problems, to encourage communication and to develop standards of competence and respect between persons engaged in the professional study and practice of government and politics. SPSA was established in 1994 and membership is available to current professionals in the field, retired professionals, and students.
