Despite progress, the links between researchers from these two fields develop only slowly. Divergences between the approach of political science to public policy and the expectations that public hea...

The indicators concern publication trends and faculty hiring in political science. In the past 20 years, the top five political science journals, as measured by their impact factor scores, have published one article focusing on biodiversity conservation ...
