Departmental Overview
The Institute of Governmental Studies (IGS) stands at the forefront of research, teaching and service in California and American politics and policy. Interdisciplinary and non-partisan, we foster thoughtful discussions of issues across party lines that focus on solutions. Through our cutting-edge research, Berkeley IGS Poll, public events, and student public service programs, we show how people can influence policy, how policy affects communities, and the importance of governmental institutions and actors in that process. We engage faculty, research and political practitioners to make a difference in discourse and in practice. Our mission is anchored by a belief in the transformational power of public service.
Now entering its second century, IGS was established in 1919 to provide expertise in public administration to the California state legislature. Over the past century, IGS has established itself as a nationally recognized source of expertise on California and American politics and public policy. IGS provides a home to faculty, students and visiting scholars from a wide range of disciplines, along with five research centers (Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative, Center for Community Innovation, Center for Democracy and Organizing, Evidence in Governance and Politics, and the Berkeley Center for Globalization and Information Technology), an affiliated library, and an active development program. IGS is also home to the Robert T. Matsui Center for Politics and Public Service, which engages Cal students in public life through internships, public events, and the presence of distinguished campus visitors.
