Western Political Science in a Non-Western Context

How has political science been perceived by non-western scientific communities? What was the position of comparative literature in Arab political writings? What are the most attractive theories? Is there any continuity between the Arab scientific community's progress and developments in comparative politics in the west? Is there a time gap as well as an epistemological one? Is there any attempt to adapt and manipulate these theories to suit the political reality of the Arab region? Have new theories been developed to study Arab political systems? What are the guidelines for real and meticulous work in that area? This monograph investigates these issues, and presents a clearer picture of the field of comparative politics in Arab academic literature.
