Where Is Political Science Going?
In: PS: political science & politics, Band 37, Heft 4, S. 785-787
Abstract
Introduces a symposium on the present state & future direction of US political science. Here, some remarks are offered on what kind of science can & should political science be. Problems with modeling political science after economics are noted, asserting that, ultimately, its an unsuitable model that has left political science without its own distinctive methodology. US political science's identity is delineated & subject to critique, focusing on the disciplines failure to confront the theory-practice nexus &, as such, is useless. This is illustrated with the example of how political science would confront the question, "What is democracy?". J. Zendejas
