An Antidote to Official Political Science
A Winding Path through the Discipline
Standing out or looking for cover? Strategies for defending public funding for the social sciences in the U.S
Rediscovering the Early History of Social Scientific Data Centers in the US
Social scientific data centers have long been essential to how social science research in the US gets done. Yet, there has been little historical investigation of their origins and early institutional lives. To rediscover this early history, I rely on a range of published works by social scientists who participated in the data center boom, unpublished institutional records of the two earliest social scientific data centers founded in the postwar …
The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences: Positivism and Its Epistemological Others
Why they shared: Recovering early arguments for sharing social scientific data
Argument Most social scientists today think of data sharing as an ethical imperative essential to making social science more transparent, verifiable, and replicable. But what moved the architects of some of the U.S.’s first university-based social scientific research institutions, the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research (ISR), and its spin-off, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), to share …
The Theorists’ Gambit: Kenneth Thompson’s Cultivation of Theoretical Knowledge About Politics During the Early Cold War
Kenneth Thompson was at the beginning of his professional life as a Rockefeller Foundation official at the time of the 1953–1954 Council on Foreign Relations-sponsored meetings on theories of international relations. As he took on more prominent roles at Rockefeller in the latter half of the 1950s, Thompson made cultivating a broad conception of theory in international relations and in the social sciences one of his main priorities. I begin by of…

Propagandists for the Behavioral Sciences: The Overlooked Partnership Between the Carnegie Corporation and SSRC in the Mid-twentieth Century
The Carnegie Corporation's role as a patron of the behavioral sciences has been overlooked; its support for the behavioral sciences not only began earlier than the Ford Foundation's but was also at least equally important to their success. I show how the close postwar collaboration between the Carnegie Corporation and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) to promote the behavioral sciences emerged after a strugglebetween Carnegie and the Roc…
The Ford Foundation and the Rise of Behavioralism in Political Science
How did behavioralism, one of the most influential approaches to the academic study of politics in the twentieth century, become so prominent so quickly? I argue that many political scientists have either understated or ignored how the Ford Foundation's Behavioral Sciences Program gave form to behavioralism, accelerated its rise, and helped root it in political science. I then draw on archived documents from Ford as well as one of its major grant…
Perfection and Disharmony in the Thought of Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Perfection and Disharmony in the Thought of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. By Jonathan Marks. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2005. 200p. $65.00. Many of us feel we know Rousseau, perhaps better than we do any other modern political thinker. For this we have Rousseau himself to thank; his Confessions, though often opaque and perplexing, still give us a vivid sense of the person who wrote them—ardent, dramatic, petulant, grandiose. Anyone who has re…
From Opposition to Accommodation: How Rockefeller Foundation Grants Redefined Relations between Political Theory and Social Science in the 1950s
In this essay, I rely primarily on unpublished documents from the Rockefeller Foundation Archives as well as the annual reports of the Ford Foundation and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) to show that rather than being in a torpor, political theory in the 1950s was a large and eclectic field, marked by contest and rapid change. I focus on the Rockefeller Foundation's policy making for its program in Legal and Political Philosophy (LAPP)…

A Local History of “The Political
This essay interprets changes in how “the political” was employed by a group of political theorists connected to the University of California, Berkeley, from the late 1950s up to the present. Initially, the political names both what students of politics ought to study and invokes a way of studying meant to have broad appeal. In later uses, however, the political takes on an evanescent quality compared to the solid realm of generality represented …

The Reasonable and the Rational Capacities in Political Analysis
The authors employ Rawls's distinction between the reasonable and rational capacities to show why and how rational choice theory cannot provide adequate explanations of human behavior. According to Rawls, the reasonable capacity, associated with the concept of right and the sense of justice, is no less fundamental a moral power than is the rational, associated with the concept of the good and self-interest. Since rational choice analysis presuppo…
Can Less Be More? Leftist Deliberative Democrats' Critique of Participatory Democracy
Many contemporary democratic theorists now base their conceptions of democracy not on the value of citizen participation but on deliberation instead. This apparently slight shift in emphasis marks an important change in the critical project of democratic theory. Although participatory and deliberative democratic theory are in some ways similar, close readings of the recent work of a number of leftist deliberative democrats reveal not only fundame…
