David Ricci eloquently describes the tragic dilemma of political science in America: when political scholars deal with politics in a scientific fashion, they reveal facts that contradict democratic expectations; when the same scholars seek to justify those expectations, their moral arguments carry little professional weight."--Jacket UR - http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=000150223&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA UR - http://swbplus.bsz-bw.de/bsz009766952inh.htm ER -
