Mission
The Academy has a three-fold educational mission to:
- contribute to the scholarly examination of political institutions, processes, and public policies;
- enrich political discourse and channel the best social science research in an understandable way to political leaders for use in public policy making and the process of governing;
- educate members of the general public so that they become better informed participants in the democratic process.
The major vehicles for accomplishing these goals are primarily the Academy's journal, Political Science Quarterly, published since 1886, as well as Academy conferences, books, and other publications.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“It is the mission of the twentieth century to elucidate the irrational.”
—Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1907–1961)
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
