Abstract

Begins with a reflection on the field of political science, which, while highly politicized internally, plays no central role in public policy debate. Research is generally shaped by the political preferences of the field's generally liberal-Left practitioners, but these views are seldom attended to outside of academia. The remainder of the comment discusses the importance & disadvantages of specialization, & the need for methodological expertise to include policy knowledge as well as academic knowledge. K. Coddon
