Political Science and History: Friends and Neighbours

Iain McLean

Political Studies, 2010, vol. 58, issue 2, 354-367

Abstract: Against Anne Norton, it is argued that political science and history are good neighbours. Instances are given to show that the two disciplines need each other, both in political thought and in comparative government. Political scientists need historians to help understand important but improbable events. Historians need political scientists to help understand sampling issues and statistical methodology.
