What does political science tell us about important real-world
problems and issues? And to what extent does and can political
analysis contribute to solutions? Debates about the funding, impact
and relevance of political science in contemporary democracies have
made this a vital and hotly contested topic of discussion, and in
this original text authors from around the world respond to the
challenge. A robust defence is offered of the achievements of
political science research, but the book is not overly sanguine
given its sustained recognition of the need for improvement in the
way that political science is done. New insights are provided into
the general issues raised by relevance, into blockages to
relevance, and into the contributions that the different subfields
of political science can and do make. The book concludes with a new
manifesto for relevance that seeks to combine a commitment to
rigour with a commitment to engagement.
