THE CAUCUS FOR NEW POLITICAL SCIENCE WAS FOUNDED IN 1967 TO OPPOSE CURRENT TRENDS IN POLITICAL SCIENCE, ESPECIALLY ITS LACK OF ATTENTION TO THE VIETNAM WAR AND MASS PROTEST MOVEMENTS. A MAJOR ITEM ON THE ORGINAL AGENDA WAS FOUNDATION INFLUENCE ON CHOICE OF RESEARCH TOPIC, AND FOUNDATION CONNECTIONS WITH POLITICAL SCIENCE MORE GENERALLY. THIS ARTICLE IS DIRECTLY A RESULT OF THE DISCUSSION HELD AT THE INITIAL MEETING. IT CONCLUDES THAT COLLECTIVE THINKING IS NEEDED ON WHAT RESEARCH IS NECESSARY TO PROMOTE DESIRED SOCIAL CHANGE, STARTING WITH THE UNFULFILLED LIBERAL GOALS, SUCH AS PEACEFUL RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES, ELIMINATION OF POVERTY, AND BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.

ARGUING THAT POLITICAL BEHAVIOR RESEARCH REMAINS "PRE-BEHAVIORAL", THE AUTHOR REASONS THAT POLITICAL SCIENTISTS MUST APPLY THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HUMAN BEHAVIOR PROVIDED BY THE BIOBEHAVIORAL SCIENCES.

Abstract This article compares political science to another discipline, with which it has much in common. That discipline is architecture. The political-science-as-architecture analogy has a long history in political thought. It also has important implications for the ends, means, and uses of political science. It follows from the political-science-as-architecture analogy that political science is necessarily a heterogeneous and pluralistic discipline. It also follows that political scientists have a common purpose, which is to conceive of institutional structures that allow humans to live together in societies, just as the purpose of architecture is to conceive of physical structures in which humans can live together.
