Despite the proliferation of ideational accounts in the last decade
or so, the debate over the role of ideas remains caught up in a
series of disputes over the ontological foundations,
epistemological status and practical pay-off of the (re)turn to
ideational explanations. It is thus unsurprising that there is
still little clarity about just what sort of an approach an
ideational approach is and about what it would take to establish
the kind of fully-fledged ideational research programme many seem
to assume has already been developed. The contributors in this
volume address these dilemmas in diverse but engagingly
complementary ways. They argue that what plagues most attempts to
accord ideas an explanatory role is the persistence of the
perennial dualities in political analysis. In aspiring to eschew
the current vogue for dualistic polemic, the present volume reveals
elements of dualistic thinking in the ideational turn and assesses
the impact of the persistence of these perennial dualisms in the
attempt to accord ideas an explanatory role.
