What evidence can be found of political science scholarship on
teaching and learning? What questions are being asked and what
methodologies are being used by political scientists engaged in this
work? This article identifies and discusses six transformative
trends in STL, specific to the discipline of political science. The
most prominent trends are the dramatic increases in: democratic and civic
educationthe use of
technology in the
classroomcurriculum
development and innovation in teaching
strategies. There is also evidence of
the continuing importance of diversity, experimentation with service
learning, and attention to professional development.

Swedish political science has a long pedigree. The Johan Skytte professorship of discourse & politics was established at Uppsala U in 1622, although political science teaching & research did not begin until the 1860s. Today, the discipline is represented at all 10 Swedish universities & at a number of other centers for higher education. Early Swedish political science gravitated toward constitutional law, history, & philosophy. In principle, the discipline today deals with all possible aspects of politics; as far as domestic politics research is concerned, special emphasis has been given to analysis of ideas, local politics, interest organizations, & political parties, as well as public administration & public policy. Contacts with the outside world have been close; different worldwide theories & methods have successively been incorporated. The relations between the discipline & the surrounding Swedish society have also been close & the reputation & visibility of the discipline fairly high. 18 References.

The purpose of this report is to examine, on an international scale, the current trends in political science research.The initial intention was to base the survey on the available information about researches being carried on by institutions, but it soon became apparent that such a survey could not give an adequate picture of current work or trends. In the first place, systematic information about research by institutions was, at the time of writing, available on a comparable basis only for a few countries and areas. In the second place, even if information on research by institutions were available for all countries, an analysis of it would give a very one-sided picture of the main trends in political science research. For it would leave out of account all the work being done by individual scholars, and even groups of scholars, in the ordinary course of their academic work. To single out the work being done by research institutes (whether they are attached to universities or established independently) and to call this "research," would be putting a narrrow interpretation on the word. It is, of course, tempting to do so. It is possible to canvass institutions and compile a comparative register of their researches; it is much more difficult, if not impossible, to compile a register that would list all the significant thinking being done in political science, including the theoretical work being done by individual academic political scientists in all the universities.

Characterizing various approaches according to "elective affinities" shared in practice, considered is how historical institutionalism defines research agendas & develops explanations. Substantive agendas, temporal arguments (historical process), & attention to context & configuration characterize historical institutionalism; these aspects are detailed to identify distinctive core strategies & discern the advantages & limits of the approach relative to others employed in empirical political science. In conclusion, broad issues of empirical research method & strategies of knowledge cumulation are addressed. J. Zendejas

Custom has decreed that the president of this Association, as almost his final act before leaving his briefly-held office, shall deliver an address to those of his colleagues who are hardy enough to assemble to hear him. In this address he endeavors to give something of his best thought concerning some political question. Thereby he generally contrives, also, to convey to his fellow-members something of a feeling of corporate unity and a sense of professional direction.As my thoughts have turned recently toward the consideration of political science as a whole, as a unified discipline, and as a factor in the government of man, I thought I would discuss with you the question of the rôle of political science in the conduct and preservation of what we now call democratic government.Standing before you a year ago, President Frederic Austin Ogg spoke thoughtfully and with eloquence of American democracy after the war. He directed his remarks in part to the gloomy predictions of various speculative writers who prophesy the end in our age of democracy and constitutional government. With masterly competence, he showed that the modern trend toward strong executive leadership is not at all the same as a drift into dictatorship. In the United States this trend primarily means that the executive office is being developed to fulfil its true function in a democracy that intends to become stronger, more active, and more efficient.
