This book contains some of the newest, most exciting ideas now percolating among political scientists, from hallway conversations to conference room discussions. To spur future research, enrich classroom teaching, and direct non-specialist attention to cutting-edge ideas, a distinguished group of authors from various parts of this sprawling and pluralistic discipline has each contributed a brief essay about a single novel or insufficiently appreciated idea on some aspect of political science. The one hundred essays are concise, no more than a few pages apiece, and informal. While the contributions are highly diverse, readers can find unexpected connections across the volume, tracing echoes as well as diametrically opposed points of view. This book offers compelling points of departure for everyone who is concerned about political science -- whether as a scholar, teacher, student, or interested reader.

Review
"In this one-of-a-kind collection, an eclectic set of contributors offer short but forceful forecasts about the future of the discipline. The resulting assortment is captivating, consistently thought-provoking, often intriguing, and sure to spur discussion and debate."
—Wendy K. Tam Cho, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
"King, Schlozman, and Nie have created a visionary and stimulating volume. The organization of the essays strikes me as nothing less than brilliant: The book enacts the process that it seeks to engender, generating a spirit of serendipitous discovery and insight in the very process of reading a book devoted to encouraging new directions in research, scholarly exploration, and discovery. It is a volume that will be greatly welcomed in the discipline and could become a classic, creating a new genre and also providing students as well as scholars with a ready source of intellectual stimulation and research strategies. It is truly a joy to read."
—Lawrence C. Dodd, Manning J. Dauer Eminent Scholar in Political Science, University of Florida

—Peter Kingstone, University of Connecticut

—Brian Schaffner, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
