Taylor and Francis Kaplan, M: Macropolitics

A selection of essays by a pioneer in the application of systems theory to political analysis, Macropolitics develops Morton Kaplans concern with the philosophical foundations of political science, and with the extension of philosophical principles into the realm of empirical analysis. When the book first appeared, William Welch in the American Political Science Review called it excellent: his weighing against the evidence of competing hypotheses is truly exemplarythorough, careful, fair-minded.
