Political science has been a central part of my life for over half a century. This essay records thoughts about the discipline, what it has given me, and what I hope I have given it. It records my entrance into the field and the direction of my work, and offers a personal review of the nature of political science. Using my own work as the examples, it traces the evolution of comparative survey research as a method. And it outlines a list of works on citizen voice and political equality. It focuses as well on the openness and breadth of the discipline, two of its finest virtues. Adapted from the source document.

The aim of James W. Ceaser's book, Reconstructing America (1997), is to save the US from the deconstructionist European thinking that has, since the eighteenth century, portrayed Americans as "inferior & degenerate." In the book, Ceaser attempts to reconstruct the US statesman. In doing so, he responds to the theories of Leo Strauss, Martin Heidegger, Alexis de Tocqueville, Richard Rorty, Mansfield, & Aristotle. Ceaser's thinking on the subject of US reconstruction reveals his belief that in post-Cold War America, the "real war for the soul of humanity has just begun." As he moves from a critique of US political life to a critique of US culture; however, it is no longer possible to blame US shortcomings on European thought. K. A. Larsen

As recipients of Fulbright-Hayes lectureships, we taught political science courses at two Chinese universities during the academic year 1983-84. Professor Thompson, at the International Politics Department of Beijing University, the major liberal arts university in North China, and Professor Morrison with the History Department of Zhongshan University in Guangzhou, the comparable institution of the south. We were the first western political scientists in residence and teaching on a regular basis in mainland Chinese universities in over thirty years, and taught the first political science courses included in Chinese curricula since the late 1940's. In addition to lecturing in each other's departments. Professor Thompson spent a week at Fudan University in Shanghai and Professor Morrison lectured at Nanjing University. These are our perceptions regarding the current state of political science in the People's Republic of China.
