Summary, etc. THE COLLECTION of articles and studies brought<br/>together in this Reader represents an admittedly<br/>self-conscious and in many respects venturesomne<br/>enterprise.<br/>If one were to enumerate the most character<br/>istic features of political research as an academic<br/>interest, neither empirically oriented theory nor<br/>sophisticated research methodology would likely<br/>be named as outstanding attributes. The main<br/>body of political theory, as practiced in our col-<br/>leges and universities, is concerned with the criti<br/>cal evaluation of past speculative systems, that is,<br/>a history of political doctrines. Another major<br/>concern of political theory is frankly moral-<br/>normative and prescriptive of current politics.<br/>Research, on the other hand, is most often cast<br/>in a historical, broadly institutional and juridical<br/>mold. The situation does not need further com-<br/>ment here. David Easton, in The Political System,<br/>has sought to evaluate the tasks in reorienting<br/>political theory to empirical research.1 More re-<br/>cently, Roy Macridis has presented a balanced<br/>critique of the traditional study of comparative<br/>government.2<br/>This Reader includes viewpoints that are ex-<br/>plicitly critical and symptomatic of a dissatisfac<br/>tion with the present state of political science.<br/>Only because the prevailing ferment has outgrown<br/>its original critical defensiveness does this volume<br/>have a raison d'être. But it is not a main purpose<br/>of this collection to express dissatisfaction. Never<br/>theless, this Reader is conceived as an effort in<br/>persuasion. By presenting some of the representa-<br/>tive efforts in the political behavior approach, we<br/>hope to suggest its future promise.
