Welcome
This is a wiki of ideas for political science papers. I started it to keep a public record of my thoughts, as an experiment in Science 2.0.
If you want to use one of these ideas yourself, either on your own or in collaboration, then get in touch with the author.
If you want to add your own ideas, go ahead. Anyone can edit or create a page. If you register a user name, any ideas you create will be automatically attributed to you.
Some things here will never become papers, because they are irrelevant, impracticable, generally stupid, have already been done, etc. Things are here because they were worth writing down, not necessarily worth doing. If you think an idea is irrelevant, impracticable etc. then edit the page or leave a comment.
