F. Roscher, and Ludwig von Gumplowicz. The US science of the state emphasized three concepts - race, class, and national identity - which generated two competing theories of the state: a metaphysical theory of the state anchored in the concept of race, and an economic theory of the state anchored in the concept of class. By the 1920s, a new sociological theory of the state laid the foundations for a paradigm shift from the science of the state to pluralism in US political science. The author suggests that the origins of US political science structured its development as a dialectical conflict between the official discipline's ideological defense of economic and racial inequality and a critical political science, which challenged the structural inequalities of US capitalism and liberal democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47966691360919,"sku":"9783111599298","price":11708.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783111599298.webp?v=1782911859","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-science-of-the-state-race-class-and-national-identity-in-us-political-science-1835-to-1945-9783111599298","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
