95 Theses on Politics, Culture, and Method

the long version

"In this book, distinguished political scientist Anne Norton proposes 95 theses that launch a brilliant, witty polemic against the orthodoxy in her own field." "Rejecting the antiquated and stultifying models in textbooks on method, in courses on methodology, championed by the self-appointed gatekeepers of a narrow and parochial political science, Norton opens the gates to more new practices, new principles, new questions, more methods, and more demanding ethical and scientific criteria. Practice, she argues, has outstripped old models and conventional standards. Drawing on the most daring and rigorous work in structuralism, poststructuralism, postcolonialism, cultural studies, institutional analysis, and the philosophy of science, she offers practical advice for students of politics, cultures, and method."--Jacket.
