An examination of the movement that has turned the discipline of
political science upside down This superb volume describes the
events and ramifications of a revolt within the political science
discipline that began in 2000 with a disgruntled e-mail message
signed by one “Mr. Perestroika.” The message went to seventeen
recipients who quickly forwarded it to others, and soon the
Perestroika revolt became a major movement calling for change in
the American political science community. What is the Perestroika
movement? Why did it occur? What has it accomplished? What remains
to be done? Most important, what does it tell us about the nature
of political science, about methodological pluralism and diversity,
about the process of publishing scholarly work, and about graduate
education in the field? The contributors to the book—thoughtful
political scientists who offer a variety of perspectives—set the
Perestroika movement in historical and comparative contexts. They
address many topics related to heart of the debate—a desire for
tolerance of methodological diversity—and assess the changes that
have come in the wake of Perestroika. For political scientists and
their graduate students, and for those interested in the history or
sociology of social sciences, this volume is essential reading.
