The Chinese Association of Political Science (Taipei) Annual Congress 2024

The Chinese Association of Political Science (Taipei) (CAPS) was founded in Nanking in 1932. CAPS organizes an annual conference, rewards outstanding research, and publishes the Chinese Political Science Review, one of the most influential political science journals in Taiwan. 

On 26-27 October, CAPS will host its 2024 annual congress in conjunction with an international academic conference at NTU. The CAPS congress will be conducted primarily in Chinese, focusing on strategic risk, technological confrontation, crisis management, and political and economic realignment under intensified geopolitics. The international conference will be held in English and co-hosted
by IPSA research committees RC13 Democratization in Comparative Perspective and RC17 Comparative Public Opinion. CAPS is honored to have Professor Peter F. Cowhey, Dean Emeritus and Qualcomm Chair Emeritus of the School of Global Policy and Strategy at the University of California San Diego (UCSD), as keynote speaker.

President Min-Hua Huang, who is also Chair of RC17, is dedicated to strengthening international dialogue between CAPS and the global political science community by expanding academic cooperation. On behalf of CAPS, President Huang has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with KPSA and JPSA. Under this MoU, CAPS will actively develop trilateral visits and organize the East Asian Presidential Roundtable at the IPSA World Congress. Specifically, three goals will be pursued: Participating in the East Asia subcommittee of the local organizing committee at the 2025 Seoul World Congress of IPSA, funding the East Asian Solidarity Fund for the Global South, and co-organizing the Presidential Roundtable and various thematic and sub-disciplinary sessions at the 2025 IPSA World Congress in Seoul.
