Joining the Democracy and Autocracy section is a great way to meet other people working on all things democracy and autocracy, learn about new research in the field, and find out about opportunities to present your work and get feedback!

We hold our annual business meeting at APSA every year, followed by a section happy hour!

Section Dues:

• FREE for students!
