Der verheerende Bürgerkrieg sei eines seiner Motive gewesen, das vorliegende Buch über Bürgerrechte in Liberia zu schreiben, erklärt der Autor. Er gibt einen Überblick über die Geschichte des Landes und arbeitet sodann die verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Bereiche in der Art einer Landeskunde ab. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Fragen des demokratischen Staatsaufbaus und der Rechte und Pflichten der liberianischen Bürger. (GIGA-Sbd)

This article reports on the evaluation of political science research internships & considers their costs & benefits for a political science education. Students indicated high levels of appreciation of the inaugural Political Science Research Internship Unit at the U of Western Australia in terms of its contribution to their personal development & work experience. A substantial number of interns gained insights into the policy process through this form of experiential learning. Many came to appreciate the contingency & the normative dimensions of knowledge in the policy process. Whereas about half of the students found the transition from the seminar room to the policy world difficult, the other half were more successful in applying their theoretical knowledge to practical experiences. The article also indicates how this evaluation informs future course design. 10 References. Adapted from the source document.

A symposium comment reflecting on the debate between political scientists & political theorists. The debate is analogous to an older one between political scientists & economists. If economists now actively engage in government policy planning & formation, might political knowledge yet have a vital public role to play, eg, in countering popular indifference & fostering incentive not just to vote, but to vote judiciously? Yet prescriptions for political scientists would be counterproductive. Upholding pluralism in the field itself seems a reasonable goal. 10 References. K. Coddon
