Description
Presents the history of Anglophone political science which argues that the field's transformation shouldn't be mistaken for a case of simple progress and increasing scientific precision. This book shows that political science is deeply historically contingent, driven both by its own inherited ideas and by the history in which it has developed.
Reviews
"The erudition is uniformly impressive. The book succeeds in showing how the history of political science is not merely of antiquarian interest but of continuing and vital relevance to how political scientists today go about their craft."--Geoffrey Brahm Levey, European Legacy
