Political Science Memo

Read the book I upload, and write a memos. Note that this does not mean summarize. It would be useful to also keep in mind, given what you’ve read, what’s the next question to be asked? How would you ask it? Are they key dependent/independent variables that the authors neglected to address? Are there theoretical mechanisms that have not been explored? What are the narratives saying about agents and institutions? How do the accounts vary in the different sources? Can you pull together the conflicting historical accounts and explain why the sources and interpretations of particular events differ greatly? Format may vary but it is useful to include ideas, concepts, arguments that you found stimulating, worth remembering and building on; questions, concerns, disagreements with ideas encountered; connections, linkages, contradictions between one idea or approach and another.
