The chapter investigates the recent evolution of methodological sensibility within the scholarly community in Italy and Spain, two Southern European countries characterised by a significant delay in the development of political science. The analysis serves two purposes. First, to measure the different perceptions regarding the importance of methodological pluralism during the early and consolidation phases of the discipline in two countries today representing a major part of the contributors from the Mediterranean shores of the European scientific community. Second, the aim is to provide a qualitative exploration of the assessments made by key figures involved in the recent development of the discipline. The analysis of similarities and dissimilarities between Italy and Spain helps to disentangle the convergent but significant evolution in the application of political science methods in Southern Europe, and sheds a light on a process of emancipation of the discipline which is still rather uncertain.

摘要

The chapter investigates the recent evolution of methodological sensibility within the scholarly community in Italy and Spain, two Southern European countries characterised by a significant delay in the development of political science. The analysis serves two purposes. First, to measure the different perceptions regarding the importance of methodological pluralism during the early and consolidation phases of the discipline in two countries today representing a major part of the contributors from the Mediterranean shores of the European scientific community. Second, the aim is to provide a qualitative exploration of the assessments made by key figures involved in the recent development of the discipline. The analysis of similarities and dissimilarities between Italy and Spain helps to disentangle the convergent but significant evolution in the application of political science methods in Southern Europe, and sheds a light on a process of emancipation of the discipline which is still rather uncertain.
