Opis

Political science as a discipline is multifaceted and its role in society is complex. This collection of essays is based on an approach grounded in history and informed by a theory of participatory pluralism. The author reflects on the discipline's fragmentation and its retreat from public debate, on the varying and contradictory roles of political science and international relations as champion of more or less democracy and on various other questions relating to political science.
