This article reviews four decades of scholarship on political development. It contends that the theoretical ambitions of the early political development literature to frame the comparative inquiry of politics & political change in less developed countries were undermined by intellectual challenges to the paradigms of modernization & structural functionalism & that the literature's teleological dimension was contradicted by real-world events. Nonetheless, in subsequent decades, the field made great advances in the study of political institutions, democratic stability & breakdown, state structures, civil society, & the uneven character of political development itself. The article argues that amid manifold evidence of plural forms of political development & decay at the century's end, the field should avoid relapses into neomodernization theory & instead focus on such issues as state reform, democratic governance, political representation & accountability, & the organization of civil societies. Such an expansive & fluid research agenda will enable the field of political development to generate important theoretical advances in comparative politics. 94 References.
