CAGE MATCH: ASSIMILATION VS. MULTICULTURALISM
In my grad work in Political Science, Putnam was required in numerous classes (International Relations, Public Policy, Methods) for his methodological and theoretical rigor. I can't say I'm surprised by his results especially seen in light of some of his other writings, or his hesitancy in publishing. After all, Harvard just ousted a Clintonista - Larry Summers - for not being leftist enough and some sectors of academe are increasingly radical and incapable of critical analysis - think Ward Churchill. No doubt that Putnam trends left, but compared to others I've read and meet with, he's rather centrist and deliberate/pensive. Also, he does public policy (as well as International Relations) and in this field of PoliSci or Public Administration you do see proposals and proposed courses of action.
