Synopsis

This volume is the first of the three volumes that collect the Rudolphs' life works over a period of fifty years since their first visit to India in 1956. Volume I comprises two parts: Modes of Inquiry and Theorizing Politics and Society. The seven essays in the first section, Modes of Inquiry, reflect the changing methods of inquiry the authors have used over a period of time. The eight essays in the second section, Theorizing Politics and Society, were written over a period of 40 years, from 1961 to 2001. They explore the relationship between theory and empirical research in political science by focusing on areas like political culture, social change, and social structure.
