Twenty-first-century political science : politicization of a discipline? 001399500 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001399500 520__ $$aThis book is the first comprehensive study to respond to the ongoing debates on political sciences' fragmentation, doubtful relevance, and disconnect with the larger public. It explores the implications of the argument that political science ought to become more topic-driven, more relevant and more comprehensible for "lay" audiences. Consequences would include evolving a culture of public engagement, challenging tendencies toward liars' rule, and emphasizing the role of "large" themes in academic education and research, the latter being identified as those areas where severe democratic erosion is occurring - such as escalating income and wealth disparities pushing democracy towards plutocracy, ubiquitous change triggering insecurity and aggression, racist prejudice polarizing societies, and counter-terrorism strategies subverting civil liberties. Political science needs to address these pressing problems ahead of other issues by in-depth research and broadly accessible public narratives, including solution-orientated normative notions. This need provides the final justification for evolving a discipline where problems would take priority over methods and public relevance over sophisticated specialization 001399500 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from electronic title page (EbscoHost, viewed July 15, 2019). 001399500 650_0 $$aPolitical science. 001399500 650_0 $$aPolitical science$$xPublic opinion. 001399500 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001399500 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aEisfeld, Rainer.$$tEmpowering citizens, engaging the public.$$dSingapore : Palgrave Macmillan, [2019]$$z9789811359279$$w(DLC) 2018967960$$w(OCoLC)1078727910 001399500 852__ $$bebk 001399500 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-5928-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001399500 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1399500$$pGLOBAL_SET 001399500 980__ $$aBIB 001399500 980__ $$aEBOOK 001399500 982__ $$aEbook 001399500 983__ $$aOnline 001399500 994__ $$a92$$bISE
