Political science has been described as a jigsaw puzzle with many
specializations and subfields that do not talk to one another. This
book offers a solution that will advance the field from mid-level
theory to engage in cross-fertilization through metatheoretical
paradigms. The book begins with a history of political science from
the nineteenth century to the present, followed by a paradigmatic
history of political science including 6 metatheories in the
pre-behavioral era, 12 in the behavioral era, and the 4 major and
several minor paradigms being developed today. The book advances
the goal of David Easton by proposing a neobehavioral political
science including multimethodological innovations, cross-testing of
paradigms, and tenets of a new political science that can rise to
become a truly theoretical science. Each paradigm is diagramed to
demonstrate the key concepts and their causal interconnections.
Political Science Revitalized: Filling the Jigsaw Puzzle with
Paradigms poses an exciting and provocative argument for the future
of the vast field of political science.
