摘要

我们认为，美国政治发展(APD)对塑造和推动美国政治的实质性问题的不懈关注，以及它们如何随着时间的推移而出现和发展，是该子领域持久性的关键来源。我们详细阐述了将APD概念化为问题驱动型企业的三个主要回报:(1)它突出了APD在美国政治子领域的主要比较优势，注意到APD的实质性广度为企业提供了巨大的灵活性;(2)它解决了方法论上的争论，简单地承认问题选择了方法，而不是相反;(3)它重新定位了批判:仅仅因为一个子领域认为自己是面向问题的，并不意味着它正在确定要研究的正确问题。

American Political Development as a Problem-Driven Enterprise

Abstract We argue that American political development's (APD's) relentless preoccupation with the substantive problems that shape and animate American politics and how they emerge and develop over time has been a key source of the subfield's durability. We elaborate on three main payoffs to conceptualizing APD as a problem-driven enterprise: (1) it highlights APD's main comparative advantage within the American politics subfield, noting the tremendous agility APD's substantive breadth lends the enterprise; (2) it resolves the methodological debate, granting simply that the question chooses the method rather than the other way around; and (3) it reorients the critique: simply because a subfield considers itself to be problem-oriented does not mean that it is identifying the right problems to study.

Articles focus on governmental institutions over time and on their social, economic and cultural setting. In-depth presentation in a longer format allows contributors to elaborate on the complex patterns of state-society relations. SAPD encourages an interdisciplinary approach and recognizes the value of comparative perspectives.
