White moves from a simple proposition maintaining that all
individuals seek suitable surroundings to propose a provocative
approach to social and political action. Rooting his position in
modern life sciences and particularly in sociobiology and
neurobiology, he establishes an "IMPish" model that is
"interactional," "mentalist," and "populational." Interactional in
that both heredity and environment are credited for due influence
on individuals' traits; mentalist in that individuals' actions can
be purposeful rather than simply determined; and populational in
his insistence that the unique persona must not be slighted in the
rush to fashion statistics. Applying his behavioral principles most
notably relevant to self-selection and using examples derived from
modern political action, White examines the importance of these
fundamental orientations in the social and political orders. The
work has implications for policy assessment and re-formulation. It
constitutes a challenge to much of the widely accepted contemporary
political theory and public policy approaches.
