Before and After the Cold War: Using Past Forecasts to Predict the Future

Coperta unu
Psychology Press, 2002 - 219 pagini
Quester (government and politics, U. of Maryland) counts the fall of communism as good news, but is troubled by the news part: the fact that it was totally unpredicted by political science challenges the discipline's claim to be a science at all. He reviews and scores the discipline's forecasts over the years, looking for strands of predictive logic that might be extracted to be used for the future. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
