Description:

Outlines the core position of political science practitioners and explains why the field kept its collective cool. It covers areas ranging from membership size and disparities, intervention scenarios in world events, and the location of scientific centers of gravity in the study of politics.

Synopsis:

Harold D. Lasswell is arguably the quintessential face of political science to the larger public of the past century. However, there is a side to Lasswell less well known, but of special importance in this day and age: the place of the profession of politics as an academic activity. This book, written at the start of the culture wars thirty years ago, outlines the basic core position of political science practitioners. It helps to explain why the fi eld kept its collective cool, when other social science professionals veered to more extreme activist positions.
