Political Science: State of the Discipline II

This volume is the “second” rather than the “revised” edition of Political Science: The State of the Discipline published in 1983. The State of the Discipline II offers an entirely new set of authors who review, discuss, and assess the literature in 19 subfields of the political science discipline, from a worldwide, cross-national, or cross-cultural perspective. The State of the Discipline II will stimulate discussion among researchers and teachers, and is an essential introduction to the political science discipline for all students.
