Description
This book is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and UC Berkeley political scientist Professor Mark Bevir, who is an internationally acclaimed expert in the theory of governance. This thought-provoking conversation explores how attempts to shoehorn political science into a natural science framework commonly fail and how correctly appreciating what social science is and does has a direct bearing on our everyday social lives. By adopting the false belief that the social world is composed of some unchanging, fundamental entities on par with atoms or molecules?be they markets or classes or what have you?we will have no means of recognizing, or even describing, what happens when circumstances change and a new social dynamic is created. This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, One of a Kind, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter: I. Creating a Political Philosopher - From mathematics to social science II. The Power of Philosophy - How to change the world III. What is Political Science, Anyway? - Science vs. interpretation IV. Knowing One?s Limits - Distinguishing heuristic utility from a scientific truth V. Missing the Boat - Beyond outdated dichotomies VI. Networks - What they are and how they arose VII. Analyzing Governance - How social science makes the world VIII. The Mechanisms of Influence - Investigating social traction IX. From Theory to Practice - Appreciating a mix of strategies X. Doing Things Better - The importance of listening XI. Starting Over - A lone wolf takes charge, at least theoretically XII. Going Global - Encouraging pluralism and open patterns About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series: This book is part of an expanding series of 100+ Ideas Roadshow conversations, each one presenting a wealth of candid insights from a leading expert in a focused yet informal setting to give non-specialists a uniquely accessible window into frontline research and scholarship that wouldn't otherwise be encountered through standard lectures and textbooks.
