Background

Since 2009, the International Political Science Association (IPSA) has implemented a gender monitoring system aimed at tracking the status of women in 5XÉçÇøand in political science associations members of IPSA. In 2017, 5XÉçÇøexpanded this initiative to include diversity monitoring in the surveys. This initiative seeks to address issues of gender and diversity equality, raise awareness of the persistent under-representation of women and people from diverse groups, , and enhance their roles in scientific research and organizations (5XÉçÇøGender and Diversity Monitoring Report).

In 2023, 5XÉçÇøpublished the fourth report based on a survey conducted with 34 out of the 59 regional and national political science associations affiliated to IPSA. The report emphasizes the ongoing under-representation of women and people from diverse groups in political science associations, particularly in leadership roles and senior academic positions. Despite some progress, significant disparities remain, which poses the need for continued efforts to promote equity within the discipline.
