Abstract
This chapter describes the history of the Australasian Political Studies Association (APSA) since its formation in 1951. It examines the factors leading to the inauguration of the national body, its aims, and the difficulties it faced, especially with a small base. The conclusion identifies an important issue: APSA has a decreasing ‘hold’ on political science academics, for a number of reasons. It needs to be re-energised.
