发帖数: 3 | 1 A fundamental puzzle is that the more I read political science, the more I
feel anything goes. Hence my bias is that I have no bias toward Theoretical
Approaches, Level of Analysis and Quantitative vs Qualitative Methods.
Theoretical approaches: In IR, realism, liberalism and constructivism each
focuses on different aspect of the complex reality of world politics. When I
talk with a liberalist, my point is more toward realism, however when I talk
with a realist, I feel that liberalism has a role |

发帖数: 7244 | 2 hehe, good questions. Here is my understanding...
Theoretical approaches: according to Lakatos, it's theoretically degenerative
to use different paradigms to explain different questions, i.e. you should not
use liberalism to explain peace while using realism to explain wars. A
theorist should be consistent and sticks to one paradigm and then improve the
paradigm according to scientific research program, i.e. you get some
assumptions,and then derive some testable hypotheses, and then use empirica

发帖数: 79 | 3 One thing about the understanding of KKV
When they say both qual and quan can be scientific, they are actually using
quan to frame qual. their logic of inference is statistic one. therefore, they
are biased against quan but for qual. a heated debate comes up.

发帖数: 7244 | 4 hehe, that's the problem. We even cannot find a value-free method, let alone a
value-free theory. It seems that polisci is split by economics and
sociology:-)

发帖数: 79 | 5 It true. But still, in terms of the "well-accepted framework" or "paradigm",
American politics is better off than IR an CP; and IR is better than CP. For
CP, every really goes.

but no consensus is reached.

发帖数: 79 | 7 en, no value-free method is actually because of no value-free theory. In my
understanding, the logic in use of all political science is deductive in term
of a preexistence of a biased theory, no matter what kind of constructed logic
is. 【 在 kzeng (锴锃·亮堂堂·聂小倩的粉丝) 的大作中提到: 】

Are you serious? These two students transfer because they fail to answer this

发帖数: 7244 | 9 It's true. One of them is from Korea and the other is from Turkey. The problem
is not only because of their failure but also due to the methods they used to
answer those questions. In fact, IR prelim is one of the hardest one in our
Dept. Last year, more than 66% students failed the exam.
