TY - GEN T1 - Politics in time : history, institutions, and social analysis A1 - Pierson, Paul LA - English PP - Princeton PB - Princeton University Press YR - 2004 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocn759160419 AB - This groundbreaking book represents the most systematic examination to date of the often-invoked but rarely examined declaration that ""history matters."" Most contemporary social scientists unconsciously take a ""snapshot"" view of the social world. Yet the meaning of social events or processes is frequently distorted when they are ripped from their temporal context. Paul Pierson argues that placing politics in time--constructing ""moving pictures"" rather than snapshots--can vastly enrich our understanding of complex social dynamics, and greatly improve the theories and methods that we us.
