In particular, these scholars are interested in ways to reinvigorate the discipline by connecting it to present day political struggles. Uniformly well-written and steeped in a strong sense of history, the contributors consider such important topics as: the usefulness of rational choice theory; the ethical limits of pluralism; the use (and misuse) of empirical research in political science; the present-day divorce between political theory and empirical science 606 $aPolitical science - Research - Methodology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aPolitical science - Research - Methodology. 676 $a320.01 700 $aSchram$b Sanford F$0948914 701 $aSchram$b Sanford F$0948914 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451875303321 996 $aMaking Political Science Matter$92475876 997 $aUNINA
