“Theory and Methods in Political Science”

Chapter 1: Introduction
Political Science: What political scientists do, differing in approach (very complex → nine
approaches), what is shared, research methods.
➔ Study of politics has origins in Plato, an academic discipline since 1903 formation of the
American Political Science Association.
➔ An international enterprise in a more globalised world:
◆ Outcomes determined by individual and collective actors in/outside states operating
in complex networks.
◆ Gap between domestic politics (increasingly influenced by transnational forces) and
international relations has narrowed.
◆ Role of cities/sub-national regions has expanded (‘new sovereign’?):
● Links across national borders (economic investment).
● Collaboration in tackling governance challenges.
➔ World Politics: New emergence, where non-state actors play a vital role alongside nation
states:
◆ International level issues extended to include domestic concerns.
◆ Nature of politics = more politically driven > military/economic power.

Theory = opens new doors.
➔ Political science = evidence for research, shapes opportunities/strategies of political actors.
➔ Political science understands “what is” (empirical dimension) and “what should be”
(normative dimension)→ important to clarify arguments, support cases, new challenges.

What is politics? What is it that political scientists study?
Ontological Questions: What is and what exists (“what’s there to know about?”).

Political: Two broad approaches (politics = power) working as a duality (interactive):
1. Arena: Occurring within certain limited ‘arenas’. Political scientists (behaviouralists, rational
choice theorists and institutionalists) focus on the formal operation of politics in governance
(everyday understandings).
