Dennis Kavanagh's new textbook on political behaviour will be widely welcomed by undergraduate and graduate students alike. The behavioural study of politics has been associated with the promotion of a scientific approach to politics. In this wide-ranging study, Kavanagh provides a calm, critical but sympathetic assessment of just how far the hopes and claims of the defenders of behaviouralism have been fulfilled. He also seeks to relate the approach to current trends in the academic study of politics.
