Interdisciplinarity and Political Science

‘Interdisciplinarity’ is an ancient notion in the social sciences, but has acquired both pedagogic and policy popularity in recent decades. Paradoxically, it only makes sense in a disciplinary world. The disciplines have been greatly strengthened in recent decades, and interdisciplinarity can partly be understood as a response by interests threatened by disciplinarity. It is also a strategy used by disciplines in crisis, and by dissidents from disciplinary hierarchies.
