Abstract
The interaction between political theory and area studies in the last several decades has taken the form of model fitting — crude, clumsy, and, sometimes sanguine at the outset, increasingly deft and experimental as time went on and experience accumulated. Soviet, East European (and now Chinese) political studies, of all area studies, have been more open to this model fitting process. This may very well be due to the scarcity of data about communist societies, and the effort to enhance insight through experimenting with different theoretical perspectives.
