What effect has the study of gender had on political science? Compared to other branches of the social sciences, political science has been among the most resistant to feminist analysis. Political science scholarship generally is divided into four main subfields: political theory, American politics, comparative politics, & international relations. There are great disparities between these areas in the types & amount of gender scholarship that has been done. While feminist theory has become an accepted part of political theory, it has had a more limited impact in the other areas. Furthermore, where gender scholarship has appeared, it is often guided by intellections. Focusing on current major themes & significant works in the discipline, this article explores the differences in gender scholarship between subfields. 29 References. Adapted from the source document.

An argument is made against the conventional viewpoint that the natural sciences are void of all subjectivity, bias, & personal or political moral values. Using the "emancipatory sciences" of feminism, antiracism, & class struggles, common assumptions are presented that demonstrate the problems involved in eliminating social biases from research techniques. These emancipatory sciences usually either: (1) ignore the other's concerns; (2) define the other's concerns as a causal outcome of one's own concerns; or (3) include, only incidentally, the concerns of the others into one's own concerns. It is imperative that the relationships among gender, race, & class become more cohesive. The class problem, eg, should be recognized as manifesting itself in different forms depending on the race & gender of those involved. 19 References. R. Logsdon

Singer, Milton (U of Chicago, I11), THE SOCIAL SCIENCES IN NON-WESTERN STUDIES, A. Amer. Acad. Polit. Soc. Sci., 1964, 356, Nov, 30-44. The involvement of the soc sci's in non-Western studies has been growing despite instit'al & intellectual conflicts between area & disciplinary studies. The process of instit'al adaptation is illustrated by the postwar development of nonWestern studies. The intellectual conflict springs from the fact that the definitions & classifications of major world areas do not correspond to the definitions & classifications in any soc sci discipline. The several disciplines have a diff'1 proneness to area studies, & the problem of integrating them for study of a particular area has no simple, uniform solution. Evidence is presented to show how the study of non-Western societies & civilizations is generating new & fertile hybrid disciplines in anthrop & is giving a comparitive & internat'al dimension to the other soc sci's.

We seek to provide an overview of the relationship between the English-language study of Taiwan & the social science disciplines, focusing primarily on political science, yet touching also on sociology, developmental studies, & economics. We identify three main periods in the evolution of Taiwan studies: (1) that from the end of WWII to the late 1970s saw the marginalization of Taiwan studies vis-a-vis China studies; (2) that of the early 1980s to the late 1990s, when, due to Taiwan's rising economic strength & democratic transition, Taiwan studies began to rise to fame, to become well-integrated with the social sciences: & (3) that since 2000, with Taiwan studies now facing both challenges & opportunities as it tries to remain integrated with the social sciences. We close with a comparison of the different research environments in both the US & Taiwan, discuss their respective roles in influencing the overall development of Taiwan studies, & suggest ways in which the social science research conducted in these two major venues for Taiwan research can be integrated more closely. 125 References.
