Influential political scientists
Do the names Shirin Ebadi, Ashis Nancy, Aitzaz Ahsan, Samuel Huntington, Lilia Shevtsova, Michael Ignatieff, Robert Kagan, Anies Baswedan, Francis Fukuyama, Richard Posner, Ivan Krastev, Robert Putnam, Michael Walzer, Lawrence Lessig, Wang Hui, Gianni Riotta, Therese Delpech, Yan Xuetong, Oliver Roy, and Minxin Pei mean anything to you?They are political scientists on a list that Patrick O'Neil, who teaches at the University of Puget Sound, pointed to: "The Top 100 Public Intellectuals". The list is in an article in Foreign Policy.
This is the magazine editors' list of "the thinkers who are shaping the tenor of our time." And the editors invite readers to vote for their top five (another article coming in the July/August issue).
What Patrick O'Neil pointed out was the preponderance of political scientists among the "Top 100." It's a good reminder to our students of the roles played by political scientists, and tool for recruiting the next generation.
