5XÉçÇø the Survey

The first World of Political Science survey was designed by Pippa Norris and shared across both the ECPR and 5XÉçÇøcommunities in the spring of 2019. It gathered nearly 2,500 responses from 102 countries across eight global regions and provided a fascinating insight into the social background, professional training, technical skills and formal qualifications, role perceptions, methodological approaches, sub-fields of research, and perceptions of changes to academic life.

The results informed Prof. Norris' chapter – The World of Political Science: Internationalization and its Consequences – in . Building on this project also is an analysis of perceptions and attitudes towards the ‘cancel culture’ in Political Studies . Prof. Norris has also generously made the baseline WPS-2019 dataset, questionnaire, and codebook available to all for secondary analysis.
