Liberal Democracy and Political Science. James W. Ceaser
V. O. Key, Jr. and the Study of American Politics. M. Cummings, Jr
Charles Merriam, Max Weber, and the Search for Synthesis in Political Science
The centenary of Merriam's birth provides the opportunity to reappraise the consequences of his prophetic advocacy of a more scientific expression and systematization of political knowledge. The vehicle for this appraisal is a comparison of Merriam's 'activist" epistemology wjth the more self-limiting methodology of Max Weber who, perhaps among all twentieth-century social scientists, stated most explicitly and experienced most poignantly the ten…

American Political Science
Scientists and the Policy Process
Alan T. Waterman (retired Director of the National Science Foundation and past president of the A.A.A.S.) recently insisted that there is a considerable difference between observations and perceptual images of scientists' behavior in governmental and policy-making situations when made by scientists and when they are made by persons “outside of science.” Waterman went on to say that most natural scientists would prefer to write on “science” rather…

National Party Organization and Congressional Districts
HE RELATIVE stability of legislative tenure has long been noted by students of two-party systems. In statistical terms, over a number of years one-fourth or less of American congressional districts appear to be doubtful in any given election year,' and except in crisis situations or critical elections overwhelming likelihood is that party turnover will occur in less than one-sixth of all districts.2 In 1958, in an off-year election that was consi…

The Place of Parties in the Study of Politics
When the beginner approaches the study of politics, one of the most natural questions for him to ask is: what is it that political science studies? This is a way of asking what is the political scientist's conception of reality. More often than not, the teacher finds the student looking for an objective physical structure, simplified yet concrete, like the astronomer's reduced-scale construction of the solar system, the biologist's photographic r…

American Labor from Defence to Reconversion. Joel Seidman
War Labor Boards in the Field. Allan R. Richards
Notes on the Theory of Political Opinion Formation
The role of public opinion in the political process is more often justified than explained by political theorists. Insofar as contemporary theory offers an explanation, it replaces the primitive democratic notion of “The People as Legislator” with a neo-idealistic conception of public opinion as the “sense of the community” (A. D. Lindsay), an emergent product of the process of public discussion that enfolds the struggle of private group leaders,…

Organized Labor as a Pressure Group
Opinion Research and the Political Process
ONE of the oldest controversies in opinion research relates to the political significance of poll results. Should they be regarded as the voice of the sovereign people, or are they irrelevant to the politician? Opinion research can make a significant contribution to the formation of political policy, this article argues, but only if it is designed to throw light on the elements of the political process as it actually functions. The opinion poll c…
VI. Political Limitations on Executive Reorganization
Time was, perhaps before the New Deal, when the limitations upon executive reorganization were largely self-limitations, which arose from a conception of administrative reform as primarily a technical problem. That is to say, students of administration assumed that their work had nothing to do with politics. The basic political decisions were to be acknowledged, and if changes were necessary they would be made by legislative enactment. Administra…
Interest Representation in Administrative Regulation
Certification of Collective Bargaining Representatives
T HE National Labor Relations Board is authorized to investigate two kinds of labor relations problems. One consists of those acts and policies of employers which the law defines as labor practices. Upon finding that an employer has been engaged in such practices, the Board is empowered to order him to cease and desist. The other type of situation over which the Board has jurisdiction is the so-called representation dispute, involving a question …
