In what is termed an "import-export" analysis, the footnotes from several leading political science journals (American Political Science Review, Canadian Journal of Political Science, Political Studies, Revue Francaise de Science Politique, & the Indian Journal of Political Science) are examined to determine the relative influence of each, based on the sources of footnotes. A discipline is categorized as an exporter if the supply of footnotes is from within the same discipline for the most part; an importer relies on a supply outside of its discipline. Thirty articles per decade were selected from the 1950s & the 1970s; 10 from each of the following years: 1954, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, & 1976. From the American Political Science Review & the Canadian Journal of Economics & Political Science, 30 articles from the 1930s were added. Much diachronic change is observed in terms of relative influence, country focus, & imports & exports. Trade among 14 social science journals identifies the US & GB as the major political science exporters. It is shown that political science as a net importer has established a complex trade pattern with other disciplines of the social sciences. 6 Tables, 7 Figures. K. Walsh.
