Example text
The same phenomenon can, of course, be looked at the other way round, and one can say that the unquestioned acceptance by many political scientists of the actor's point of view (which thus makes the politician's claims to expertise indefeasible) is one of the main inhibitions of the development of a distinctive discipline. (Barry, 1974, p. 79) But there are a number of respects in which the research basis of the local politics literature is better than that in other areas of political science, at least so far as broad ranging analyses of political activity are concerned.
On this view, any particular empirical evidence becomes interpretable only within the perspective used to produce it: cross-theory dialogue is seen as impossible or redundant. I argue, in contrast, that a close analysis of competing approaches can show the extent of interaction and common ground between different perspectives. In my view, the specificity of the data uncovered by particular approaches is most commonly the result of methodological standpoints which are adopted unselfconsciously, which have no clear intrinsic relation to the 'theory' employed, but which may then exert a distorting influence upon it.
The major approaches to urban politics analysed here show a fairly continuous and encouraging progression in awareness of these problems. Each of these approaches has made important advances to our knowledge in particular areas and in the context of the time of their production. In the last section of this chapter, I outline an approach to urban politics which is adopted in the remainder of the book. This definition cannot be taken to have solved the intractable issues at stake in attempting to constitute a separate field of analysis in this area.
