Much of this essay falls within the realm of speculative thought. Since it is in the nature of speculation that one's words may appear immodest and his conclusions often eccentric, I shall state my arguments at the outset without pausing to elaborate them. The arguments themselves are quite simple. Each of them will reappear later on clothed, I hope, in more attractive dress.Two varieties of political thought contended for the allegiance of the American people at the founding of the new nation. The two seem irreconcilable in certain crucial respects.One was notable for its expression of friendship and brotherhood, for its insistence upon individual spontaneity and uniqueness, and for its disdain for material concerns; it was intuitive and unsystematic in temper. The other displayed a preoccupation with social order, procedural rationality, and the material bases of political association and division; it was abstract and systematic in temper.The exponents of the latter point of view, having put their opponents to rout, assumed the responsibility for organizing the government and politics of the country. They enacted their psychological, social, economic, and political theories into fundamental law, then erected insititutions designed to train generations of citizens to prefer certain goods and conduct over all others.

Ostensibly theoretical disputes in political science often involve competing approaches to explanation, including skepticism, covering law arguments, reconstructions of propensities, system models, and explanations featuring causal mechanisms. Mechanism- and process-based accounts, including cognitive, environmental, and relational effects, deserve more attention than they have received in recent political science. Analyses of democratization illustrate these points.

Provides an overview of Swedish political science education & research. It is noted that Sweden has not often been at the cutting edge of the discipline, but the importance of that is pondered. Some information on the Swedish Political Science Association & the major journal, Statsvetenskaplig Tidskrift, is offered. References. J. Zendejas

It has been found that in the 21st century, political parties play an important role in the political processes of society, forming political power in a representative democracy. Qualitative development of political parties is possible with proper legal support, which allows ruling and opposition political parties to participate in electoral processes on a democratic basis. It is determined that crucial for a proper understanding of the basic principles of political party participation in electoral processes is that they should in no way be seen as a means of imposing excessive restrictions on political parties respecting the right of citizens to hold political office, personally or as political party representatives. It is substantiated that political parties perform an important representative function during their activity. The main task of political parties is to participate in the formation of the political will of the people through the electoral process and the implementation of a certain political course. It is proposed to consider political parties as organizations that have united certain individuals, one of whose goals is to participate in the management of public affairs through the nomination of candidates in free and democratic elections. It was found that in countries where national law does not require the registration of political parties, a political party is still subject to certain requirements for their participation in the electoral process. There is a tendency towards a more liberal approach to the requirements of the functioning of political parties of power to developed classical European democracies. At the same time, the democracies of Central and Eastern Europe are characterized by greater bureaucratization and formalized requirements for state registration and participation of political parties in the electoral process.

Revisits the long-standing intradisciplinary tension between political science (which ostensibly traffics in the empirical) & political theory (with its focus on the normative). Because political scientists often charge political theorists with engaging in humanistic rather than scientific research, the questions explored here revolve around clarifying the relation of political theory to the humanities & responding to "hard" scientists' specific criticisms of "soft" humanistic scholarship. That humanistic research is interested in interpretation & judgment rather than in explanation & quantifiability does not make it of lesser importance to the study of politics. K. Coddon
