The International Association for Political Science Students welcomes you to the Academic Convention 2018 in Singapore. The theme of the convention will be “Rethinking Development: Innovative Policies for Social and Economic Advancement.” This year, we are partnering with the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF), an inter-governmental organisation that aims to strengthen relations between Asia and Europe. An annual event, the Convention is one of the largest international conferences for students of political science, international relations, and related disciplines.
