Politics, Institutions, and Public Policy
A Message From Daniel Galvin, Program Chair

IPR faculty examine how political, social, and economic dynamics affect institutional operations and decision-making processes in the United States. Researchers analyze the interplay between political institutions, political behavior, and public policies.
