This book examines recent developments in political science research. What are the new influences to which the discipline opens itself up? Is political science research converging towards a single model or splitting into different streams? What are the new challenges at the beginning of the 21st century? This collection of essays discusses three interrelated topics: the relationship between political science and the problems of politics, the relationship between political science and other fields of research, and the transformation of the profession. EXTRACT The past, the present and the future of political science have always been a topic of inquiry for political scientists. This collection of essays is not the first to explore the evolution of the discipline. Since its inception, scholars of politics of all persuasions have (re)produced the story of the field as a discipline and as a profession (Farr et al. 1990: 598; Blondiaux 1997: 10; Gunnell 2002: 339; Dryzek 2002; 2006). They have explored the discipline's relation with its social and political environment, they have questioned its epistemological and ontological specificities, and more recently they have documented its professional standards, codes, and practices. As the discipline expands in different parts of the world, the attention devoted to its evolution and development has increased. Political science is a recognized object of study and "state of the discipline" studies are flourishing.Political scienceResearchPolitical scienceResearch.320.0Coman RamonaMorin Jean-FrédéricNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910725998503321Political science in motion3367602UNINA02526oam 2200301z- 450 99620493520331620200914153813.01-135-42301-6(CKB)1000000000726802(BIP)010757037(EXLCZ)99100000000072680220180122cuuuuuuuu -u- -freEncyclopedia of AgeismHaworth Press, Inc1 online resource (368 p.) ill0-7890-1890-X Learn more about age discrimination and how it affects us allThe Encyclopedia of Ageism is a comprehensive review of over 125 aspects of ageism, alphabetically arranged for easy access.
