Summary, etc. THE work by Professor Gunnar Heckscher which is now published for the first time is the report of a round table con-<br/>ference on teaching and research in comparative government held by the International Poftreal Science Association in<br/>Florence from April 5-10, 1954. Aldiough Professor Heckscher has drawn freely and fully on the papers contributed to the<br/>round table, and on the discussioris which took place there, his essay is far more than a 'report in the ordinary sense of the<br/>word. It is, I believe, the first monograph to explore at length the methodological problems involved in the study of<br/>comparative government and politics.<br/>The subject was admirably suited to an international meeting of political scientists. For it bears on the question how<br/>far conclusions drawn from the experience of one country can be validly applied to the political systems of other countries;<br/>and the conditions which must be taken into account in attempting to answer that question. Can the data of government<br/>and politics be regarded as strictly comparable in any sense, or is it unique to the particular countries from which it is drawn?<br/>What are the merits and demerits of the different methods of approaching the subject? How far must the political scientist<br/>rely on the findings of neighbouring disciplines, such as history or economics or sociology, in studying a foreign country?<br/>What do we mean by area studies? These are a few of the significant points on which those who organised the meet-<br/>ing hoped an international discussion would throw some light.
