Political scientists have the most to gain by becoming aware of the historical specificity of their models, perhaps developing less American and ethnocentric perspectives that can index alternative futures. But anthropologists might also gain from political science approaches by being more precise and rigorous in their formulation of problems and use of concepts. Aronoff and Kubik do a real service by underscoring the importance of such dialogue.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e  ·  Perspectives on Politics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“A person encountering the challenge of integrating anthropology and political science for the first time will find the book engaging and informative.
