The guiding theme of this volume is that contemporary political
science owes much of its present character to its past. In 12
previously unpublished essays, the contributors (all practising
political scientists) explore the emergence and transformation of
political traditions and research programmes that have helped make
political science what it is today. Included are histories of
political themes and ideals (democracy, race, political education),
conceptual and philosophical frameworks (the state and pluralism,
behaviouralism, policy analysis, public opinion, biology and
politics), and theoretical projects and programmes (realism in
international relations, spatial theory of elections, rational
choice and historical approaches to institutional analysis). Each
essay provides special insight and a distinct approach to
particular episodes, moments, trends, and aspects of the history of
academic political science; the volume as a whole provides a
general overview of the history of the discipline and the variety
of ways disciplinary history can illuminate the present.
