Americanists unbound

IHE reports on an APSA panel debate over whether the American politics field has outlived its usefulness. I generally (but mildly) agree with the proposition, but then again I’m one of the relatively few “Americanists” who would self-identify as a behaviorist/applied methodologist with a dash of neo-institutionalism, primarily interested in the politics of North America and Western Europe.

You try to leave….and they just suck you right back in.

You can’t resist following the antics, even when you’re thousands of miles away! :)

Heh, although to be honest if I were in Boston this weekend the odds of me attending said panel (instead of a bar in comfortable proximity to my hotel room) would be about zero.
