What caused this change? \u003ci\u003eModern Political Science\u003c\/i\u003e--the first authoritative history of Anglophone political science--argues that the field's transformation shouldn't be mistaken for a case of simple progress and increasing scientific precision. On the contrary, the book shows that political science is deeply historically contingent, driven both by its own inherited ideas and by the wider history in which it has developed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Focusing on the United States and the United Kingdom, and the exchanges between them, \u003ci\u003eModern Political Science\u003c\/i\u003e contains contributions from leading political scientists, political theorists, and intellectual historians from both sides of the Atlantic. Together they provide a compelling account of the development of political science, its relation to other disciplines, the problems it currently faces, and possible solutions to these problems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Building on a growing interest in the history of political science, \u003ci\u003eModern Political Science\u003c\/i\u003e is necessary reading for anyone who wants to understand how political science got to be what it is today--or what it might look like tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Adcock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 069112874X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691128740\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.16h x 6.32w x 0.87d","brand":"Robert Adcock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420219953407,"sku":"9780691128740","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_213a62f5-3a9f-439c-9133-311ff151ad5c.jpg?v=1734633988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-political-science-robert-adcock-9780691128740","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
