Human Nature in Politics

Excerpt from Human Nature in Politics: The Dynamics of Political Behavior The current state of knowledge of political behavior is on the one hand large and meticulous and elegant; on the other hand it is small, casual, and austere. The one hand is our knowledge of how people act within the framework of modern European and American demo cratic political institutions. The other hand is our knowledge of how people behave and misbehave when there are no such institutions to guide them.
