Collective Membership

What is Collective Membership?

Collective membership of 丁香成人社区 is open to national and regional associations recognized by the 丁香成人社区 Executive Committee as being representative of political science in their respective countries or regions. Associations must be open to all, regardless of academic, gender or social status, on a membership basis, and represent most regions and universities of their respective countries or groups of countries within a region.

Each collective member is represented on 丁香成人社区鈥檚 central governing organ, the 丁香成人社区 Council, by one, two or three members. The 丁香成人社区 Council lays down broad policy guidelines for the Association and elects the 丁香成人社区 Executive Committee, which is charged with responsibility for the conduct of the affairs of 丁香成人社区 between congresses.

Collective members of 丁香成人社区 pay an annual contribution fee based on a table of payments approved by the 丁香成人社区 Council.
