This compact volume covers the main developments in the social
sciences since the Second World War. Chapters on economics, human
geography, political science, psychology, social anthropology, and
sociology will interest anyone wanting short, accessible histories
of those disciplines, all written by experts in the relevant field;
they will also make it easy for readers to make comparisons between
disciplines. A final chapter proposes a blueprint for a history of
the social sciences as a whole. Whereas most of the existing
literature considers the social sciences in isolation from one
other, this volume shows that they have much in common; for
example, they have responded to common problems using overlapping
methods, and cross-disciplinary activities have been widespread.
The focus throughout the book is on societal pressures on knowledge
production rather than just theoretical lineages. This book is
noteworthy because it Is the first book that puts together
histories of the main social sciences since World War II, each
written by a discipline specialist Enables the readers to realize
that what they see as specific to their own discipline is in fact
common to several Contains a chapter that proposes a blueprint for
a history of the social sciences as a whole
