Synopsis

After World War II, political science, especially comparative politics, was transformed by a "scientific revolution". These 11 essays, written over 30 years, cover the major issues in comparative politics, from civil war to "civic inclusion" - that is, "the tendency over time to include in politics, in workplace decision-making, in education and in other institutional realms, people previously excluded from participation". Eckstein also deals with political science as a field: how it relates to political practice, how it developed in the pre-war period and how it emerged from the first post-war reshaping. In this collection of his work, Eckstein reflects on the issues and events - his personal experiences as a refugee from Nazi Germany and as an observer of European politics and cultures - that underlie and unify his thinking.
