‘The Intellectual Origins of New Political Science' – FREE Article Access
Clyde Barrow

‘In this article Clyde Barrow develops both an intellectual and an organizational analysis of “new political science” especially as related to the Caucus for a New Political Science. The article makes clear both intellectual and organizational contributions which continue to define the ideas and political actions that mark new political science. Highly insightful for younger members of the discipline'.

New Political Science is the official journal of the Caucus for a New Political Science (CNPS), an Organized Section of the American Political Science Association, and serves as an organ for its goals and interests.

The CNPS was formed in order to help make the study of politics relevant to the struggle for a better world. As an educational organization, it offers a forum for diverse positions within the framework of this struggle. At the same time, it recognizes that political study and criticism, if it is to be effective, must ultimately transcend the barriers of professionalism and become a function of the community as a whole. Accordingly, New Political Science seeks access to general as well as specialized audiences.

The focus of New Political Science as official journal of the CNPS, is to develop analyses which reflect a commitment to progressive social change and which treat topics that are within exploratory phases of development in political science. It insists on the broadest possible definition of 'politics', and holds that political and cultural development cannot be understood in isolation from each other.
