Produktbeschreibung

The Realm of Ideas, the first of the three volumes, explores how modes of inquiry, kinds of knowledge, construction of categories, and historical context shape political analysis and explanation. The scholars argue for methodological pluralism and 'situated knowledge'. They also critique key concepts such as political culture, modernization, civil society, and orientalism and apply them to questions of social change.
