Presses of Sciences Po

The Presses of Sciences Po are a university Publisher specialized in the field of the Social sciences and depend on the national Fondation of political sciences (FNSP). Created in 1976 under the name of Presses of the national Foundation of political sciences by Louis Bodin, they were directed by this one until in 1994. Their direction was then ensured by Bertrand Badie until in 2003, then by Marie-Genevieve Vandesande.

Their catalog has nine hundred titles and grows rich by thirty innovations per annum, of which a majority treating of topics relative to the international one. The authors published are teachers and doctorands with the Institut of political studies of Paris and researchers of the FNSP, as well as scientists coming from other institutions.

Juridically, the Presses are a Limited liability company (limited liability company) always named Presses for the national Foundation of political sciences, and whose manager is the director of Finances of the FNSP, currently Yves Richard. They fulfill the mission of edition of the Foundation, are largely Déficit surfaces, and arrive at balance only by one subsidy of the Foundation slightly higher than their Turnover. A commercial and leading revival was carried out in 2005 in order to reduce the costs. They use since 1995 the mark “Presses of Sciences Po”, recently also posted on the covers like “Sciences Po - the Presses”.

Collections and fields

In 2005, the distribution of the collections was reconsidered and tightened, and the works from now on are published between the collections:

“ References ”.
