The Great Revival: "Understanding Religious "Fundamentalism
Within hours of the attack on the World Trade Center towers on September u, 2001, the final letters of hijacker Muhammad Atta, discovered in the trunk of a rental car parked at Dulles International Air port outside Washington D.C., were being dissected by journalists and TV pundits. As the new book Strong Religion tellingly observes, commentators almost uniformly characterized the mindset re vealed in these notes as chilling, eerie, and haunting.…

Ventures in Political Science: Narratives and Reflections
Reflecting an extraordinary career, Ventures in Political Science collects Gabriel Almond's most important work on the development of political science and democratic theory. An absorbing introduction—providing personal and historical context—precedes Almond's masterful "History of Political Science." Equally notable are essays on capitalism and democracy, the crisis of political culture in the 1960s, and the history of area studies. Two especial…
The Size and Composition of the Anti-Nazi Opposition in Germany
Data concerning the existence, size, and significance of an anti-Nazi opposition within Germany are forthcoming from two primary sources. The first source is the direct testimony of opposition leaders still surviving after the occupation; the second source consists of official German intelligence reports or interrogations of interned Gestapo and Sicherheitsdienst officials. The direct testimony of opposition leaders is, of course, subject to the …

Harry Eckstein as Political Theorist
Few political scientists can claim to have made significant substantive as well as methodological contributions as has Harry Eckstein. His theory of political stability has won a lasting place in the systematic literature on the properties and conditions of democratic stability. His case study typology is one of the most original and significant contributions to the methodology of political science and is an impressive contribution to the metamet…
Les tables séparées». Écoles et sectes dans la science politique américaine
Les tables séparées. Ecoles et sectes dans la science politique américaine. Gabriel A. Almond [39-57]. Cet article utilise une métaphore pour décrire l'état de la science politique américaine dans les années quatre-vingt, science politique qui est aujourd'hui une discipline divisée. Les différentes écoles et sectes de la science politique sont assises maintenant à des tables séparées, chacune ayant sa propre conception de la science politique et …

Crisis, Choice, and Changein Retrospect
THE ‘NEW INSTITUTIONALISM’ HAS BEEN THE MOST VISIBLE movement in American political science during the last decade. It is a recoil from reductionism that is said to have dominated the political science of the previous decades. During the American Political Science Association presidency of Charles E. Lindblom in 1981, with Theodore Lowi and Sidney Tarrow as co-chairs of the Program Committee, it was decided that all titles of panels and round tab…
Capitalism and Democracy
Joseph Schumpeter, a great economist and social scientist of the last generation, whose career was almost equally divided between Central European and American universities, and who lived close to the crises of the 1930s and '40s, published a book in 1942 under the title, Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy. The book has had great influence, and can be read today with profit. It was written in the aftergloom of the great depression, during the e…
The Nature of Contemporary Political Science: A Roundtable Discussion
What is the nature of contemporary political science? What shared concerns bind us together as a discipline, providing a common definition and direction to our intellectual enterprise? These questions were on my mind as I organized the section on formal and normative political theory for the 1989 APSA meetings. Initially, I had wanted to sponsor a panel to address the nature of formal and normative theory. I knew I was a bit uncertain about the p…

The Return to the State
Three important questions are raised by the "return to the state" movement of recent years. First, are the pluralist, structural functionalist, and Marxist literatures of political science societally reductionist, as this movement contends? Second, does the neostatist paradigm remedy these defects and provide a superior analytical model? Third, regardless of the substantive merits of these arguments, are there heuristic benefits flowing from this…
Politische Kultur-Forschung — Rückblick und Ausblick
Obwohl die Vorläufer der Politischen Kultur-Forschung weit bis in die Anfänge der Politikwissenschaft zurückreichen (Almond 1980), entstand sie in ihrer heutigen Form in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Zusammenbruch der Weimarer Demokratie und dem Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus (Verba 1965: 131). Der Versuch einer rationalen Erklärung dieser historischen Tragödie hatte seinen theoretischen und methodischen Ursprung in der amerikanischen Sozialwi…
What has Happened to the Idea of Progress
Corporatism, Pluralism, and Professional Memory
Organizing interests in Western Europe is part of the third wave of interest group studies to appear since the development of professional political science at the turn of the century. The first wave was mainly an American phenomenon; the second an effort to export interest group studies to Europe and elsewhere as part of a movement intended to encourage greater realism and less ideologism in European and comparative political studies. The Organi…

Evaluating Political Goods and Productivity
Because political evaluation is both inescapable and desirable, it is too important to be left to partial and unexamined criteria. Even the most self-conscious studies of political performance have tended to rely on a limited and incomplete range of standards. We are arguing here for a more comprehensive typology of "political goods," with which both the standards and the performance of specific regimes and ideologies can be compared. Although we…
Back to the Barre, Brian Barry
Brian Barry has a critical talent of a high order. He often executes elegant ballet steps which take the breath away; but occasionally he trips over his own feet and falls into the orchestra pit, making a dreadful racket. His long review article on Crisis, Choice, and Change which appeared in the January and April (1977) numbers of this Journal is one of these unfortunate accidents

Political Theory and Political Science
Like Rachel, Jacob's beloved but still childless bride, who asked herself and the Lord each morning, "Am I?," or "Can I?," so presidents of this Association on these annual occasions intermittently ask, "Are we a science?," or "Can we become one?" My predecessor, David Truman, raised this question last September applying some of the notions of Thomas Kuhn in his recent book on scientific revolutions. I shall be following in Truman's footsteps, re…
Clouds, Clocks, and the study of Politics
In its eagerness to become scientific, political science has in recent decades tended to lose contact with its ontological base. It has tended to treat political events and phenomena as natural events lending themselves to the same explanatory logic as is found in physics and the other hard sciences. This tendency may be understood in part as a phase in the scientific revolution, as a diffusion, in two steps, of ontological and methodological ass…

A Comparative Study of Interest Groups and the Political Process
The first research planning session of the Committee on Comparative Politics of the Social Science Research Council was held on April 5-10, 1957 at the Center for Advanced Study of the Behavior Sciences at Stanford, California.

A Developmental Approach to Political Systems
During the past decade two tendencies have come to dominate the field of comparative politics. One of these is the concern for theoretical explication and methodological rigor, and the second is the emphasis on field studies of the “emerging,” “new,” and “non-Western” nations. The theoretical tendency has largely taken the form of applications of "systems" theory to the study of politics, and the chief criticism of this approach has been that it …

Public Opinion and National Security Policy
This paper is based on a lecture give by the author at teh Army War College on January 3, 1956. In it Dr. Almond describes problems of public opinion and national security policy–problems which come of this policy's technical character, its element of secrecy, and the gravity of the stakes involved. He prescribes four lines of action for strengthening the domocratic political process in the making of security policy

A Suggested Research Strategy in Western European Government and Politics
If one compares the literature on American government and politics with that which concerns continental Europe, it is quite evident that the two fields of study in the last decades have proceeded on somewhat different assumptions as to the scope and methods of political science. This divergence is of relatively recent origin. Before World War I a substantial number of leading American students in this field had their training in European centers …

Aggressive Behavior by Clients Toward Public Relief Administrators: A Configurative Analysis
This study of aggressive behavior by clients on public relief in Chicago in 1932-33 is intended to be relevant to two supplementary kinds of political theory. In so far as relations are found between economic changes and political activity, the findings bear upon the theory of political equilibrium, which seeks to state the general conditions under which political changes occur.

Determinacy-Choice, Stability-Change: Some Thoughts on a Contemporary Polemic in Political Theory
A MOOD OF DISILLUSIONMENT APPEARS TO BE SWEEPING THE FIELD of comparative politics and political development. This comes after almost two decades of rather impressive accomplishment, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view. From small beginnings in the first years after the second world war, there is now a quite impressive literature in this field. Each area of the world has something like a ‘five-foot shelf’ of monographic studies…
Political Science as a Discipline: A Statement by the Committee on Standards of Instruction of the American Political Science Association
Political science is a basic discipline in the social sciences. Although it must necessarily maintain close scholarly association with the disciplines of history, economics, sociology, anthropology, geography, and social psychology, political science cannot be considered a part of any of these other social sciences. Political science has its own area of human experience to analyze, its own body of descriptive and factual data to gather, its own c…

The Resistance and the Political Parties of Western Europe
The Christian Parties of Western Europe
It is a cliché of Communist propaganda to describe the opposition to the peaceful and progressive policy of the Soviet Union as consisting of Wall Street, fascists and former collaborationists, the Vatican, and the right-wing Socialist “toadies.” The general impression given is one of a monolithic and wholly malevolent alliance of all the reactionary “minorities,” bent on driving the innocent and peace-loving masses into a war against the Soviet …

The Political Attitudes of German Business
The surface indices of political life in Germany suggest that that nation has embarked upon a moderate pro-European and pro-Western course, and that political extremism and nationalism have no significant appeal at the present time. Thus the elections of 1953 produced an overwhelming majority for the “moderate” parties. Neither the Communist Party nor specifically neo-Nazi formations attained significant votes or representation in the Bundestag i…
