Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline for the Study of Current Political, Economic, and Social Problems: With Bibliographies Whether or not the women of Indiana will be granted the franchise in the near future, they are certain to exercise a potent influence upon the moral and social conditions, and even upon legislation and the administration of law in the State. The saying attributed to Henry Bergson that in the public view the American woman is either "a drudge or a toy" is evidently not applicable to the clubwomen of Indiana. There is among them an eager open-mindedness, a spirit of inquiry, a desire for information concerning the causes of unfavorable conditions in the social life and efficient methods of improving them. There is an awakened sense of responsibility, a consciousness of power, and a willing disposition to give their services freely. They understand that long-continued practices, deeply rooted prejudices, and strongly intrenched interests will not yield to merely emotional appeals. They know that reason based upon knowledge gives power, and they are eager to acquire such a knowledge of facts, practices, and principles as will give them the necessary strength and power. The Extension Division of Indiana University, recognizing this attitude of mind and appreciating its opportunity to serve, offers this Outline for the Study of Political, Economic, and Social Problems in the hope that it may stimulate thought and direct study along lines of practical value to the several communities and to the State at large. It is designed to furnish a program of reading extending over a period of several years. Any attempt to cover the whole field in a single year would lead only to superficiality and affectation of knowledge. Systematic reading is necessary to acquire and retain any knowledge of the social sciences that is really worth while. The habit of "skipping about" in one's reading affords neither discipline nor information. It is far better to understand thoroughly the causal relations within a certain field than to have even considerable information which is disconnected and incoherent. Even clubs devoted chiefly to the study and enjoyment of the fine arts may find a place in their programs for the consideration of the relation of their particular art to the life of the people. For the highest art can be developed in Indiana only when a considerable part of the people comes to have a high appreciation of it.

Download or read book Comparative Inquiry In Politics And Political Economy written by Ronald H Chilcote and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Comparative Inquiry in Politics and Political Economy provides all the essentials for a superb introductory text in comparative politics; comprehensive in scope; historical in approach; and fair-minded in its treatment of liberal, conservative, and radical perspectives. The best single survey of the field available today for classroom use." -James Petras, SUNY-Binghamton "The student of comparative political inquiry now has a safe map to guide their way. Ronald Chilcote has produced a fine overview of the theories and politics of this field, equally attentive to mainstream and radical alternatives alike. With a balance that does not preclude passion, Chilcote provides a unique critical engagement with the subject of comparative politics and political economy." —Ronaldo Munck, University of Liverpool "Prof. Chilcote has made a magisterial contribution to the social sciences. This book situates comparative politics and international relations within the context of the development of social and economic thought over the past two hundred years. It is an excellent resource for introducing upper division students to advanced ideas in the social sciences, or for graduate students seeking a secure foundation in the intellectual development of the field. Prof. Chilcote's attention to a wide range of ideological and theoretical tendencies in the social sciences makes this book vastly more comprehensive than the syllabi of many graduate level survey courses." -Gregory Nowell, SUNY-Albany "In this sweeping intellectual history of comparative politics and political economy, Chilcote resolutely refuses to take for granted the assumptions of the Euro-American mainstream. Instead, his refreshing survey juxtaposes the dominant approaches systematically to Marxist and other alternative paradigms. Clear and direct exposition makes this a valuable text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students." —Richard Stahler-Sholk, Eastern Michigan University As an introductory text in comparative study, this work begins with the assumption that students should examine a variety of perspectives and explore alternative possibilities as a means of arousing curiosity, stimulating creativity, building interest and self-motivation, and enhancing understanding of complex issues in politics and political economy. The book provides the student with the foundations for comparative inquiry. Its purpose is threefold: to sketch an overview of the major theories and concepts; to expose issues and summarize arguments and counter-arguments; and to encourage the beginning student to pursue critical thinking in the recognition that mainstream ideas deserve scrutiny, that many essential questions remain unsettled, and that the outcome may result in the formulation and reinforcement of a personal perspective, premised on one's individual learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Political Science At the present time no field of knowledge is growing more rapidly into favour, both in the colleges and universities, and among thinking people in general, than that of the social science. Looking to the past, they are linked with the whole process of biologic and psychologic evolution, and trace the origin and development of human institutions and ideas. Dealing with the present, they describe the organization and activities of those social groups in which we all live. Looking to the future, they open up the important political, economic, and social problems that future generations must solve. Within this general field probably no subdivision so happily combines material of academic interest to the student and possibilities of practical application, as does political science. The state is the greatest institution that man has created, and its scope of activities promises to be increasingly extensive as society becomes more complex. It seems, therefore, that there is need for a book that will give a general outline of political science, viewing the state from the standpoint of past development and present conditions. For the special student in this department of knowledge it will serve as a background for more specialized work in its various divisions; for the general reader it will open up the important questions with which, in modern democracies, all good citizens should be familiar. There is an especial need for a text-book in political science for college and university classes, and in the arrangement and treatment of material in this volume that end has been constantly kept in mind. The references at the head of each chapter will suggest wider reading and open up the general literature of the subject. This volume aims to add little to the sum total of human knowledge.

Book excerpt: This book is an exploration of theories of 'political economy.' Such theories are the latest products of a long-standing intellectual enterprise concerned with understanding the relationship of politics and economics. Those involved in the enterprise have often wanted not just to describe how economics and politics are related but also to suggest how they should be related-to suggest how one should shape the other. In framing their theories, they have also involved themselves in academic arguments about the value and limitations of disciplines, as well as in essentially political arguments about the relationship of theory to action.
