Ira Katznelson: Toward a Useful Historical PoliticalScience of Liberalism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 October 2005
Extract
Over a career that spans the late 1960s to the present, APSAPresident Ira Katznelson has mounted a long and fruitfulinterrogation of political liberalism in the United States andEurope—asking for definition of its many forms, their origins, theirstrengths and weaknesses, and what kinds there can be. In doing suchwork, Katznelson has reframed several consequential phenomena andissues. They include African-American political incorporation overthe course of the 20th century and the role of partisanstrategy and policy design (as opposed to racial attitudes amongWhites) in structuring such incorporation, the roots of Americanexceptionalism in the lived experience of “class,” and, mostrecently, the surprising extent to which rational choice andhistorical institutionalism conceptually overlap.
