Читать книгу Political Science For Dummies - Marcus A. Stadelmann - Страница 50

Narrow-range theories are useless in the field of political science. They’re discouraged by the field, and political scientists who use them are looked down upon. Narrow-range theories claim to occasionally provide an explanation for behavior or events. In other words, a narrow-range theory can explain an event once in a while. So if the questions are what causes war, a narrow-range theory could explain only why war can occur once in a while and not provide an explanation of why war occurs a majority of the time or all the time.
