Abstract:

Here is the problem with which I began, or rather the problems, for there are several. First, political science as a discipline lives on the fault line between the “two cultures” in the academy, the sciences and the humanities; although one might allege the same for social science as a whole, political scientists receive funding from and play an active role in both the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities. After some evidence of rapprochement between science and the humanities in the 1980s, hardly anyone doubts that the sciences today are in the ascendancy.1 I have never heard it claimed that progress in political science bears any responsibility for the return of scientific prestige – the rapid pace of technological innovation, the mapping of the human genome with its promise of medical advances, the emergence of neuroscience and evolutionary biology, and even the return of free-market economics are more likely candidates – but scientific methodology in political science probably benefits by affinity.
The “perestroika” movement in political science is in part a response to this situation, I think, but maybe also a way of saving face.

for the different traditions of thought and inquiry that have donned the name of political science over the course of American history. If that describes the mixed form of the contemporary polity so it ought to indicate a similar array in political education: something from republicans something from democrats something from progressives something from pluralists. All agree that in political science the method employed needs to fit the question posed and the data available. This suggests that the plurality
