Abstract The renewed interest in ideas as an explanatory category in political economy, particularly among rationalist and historical institutionalists, is flawed. This turn to ideas is theoretically degenerate; it treats ideas as desiderata, catch-all concepts to explain variance, rather than subjects in their own right. The two schools ask what stabilizes and what causes change, not what ideas are and what they do. The ideational turn taken by both rationalist and historical institutionalists is best understood as an ad hoc solution to the inherent weaknesses of their research programs.

It was founded in 1968 to further the development of comparative political theory and the application of comparative theoretical analysis to the empirical investigation of political issues. Comparative Politics communicates new ideas and research findings to social scientists, scholars, and students. It is indispensable to experts in research organizations, foundations, consulates, and embassies throughout the world.

Its essential function is to educate professional political scientists capable of independent research and qualified for careers in academic institutions, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector.

Abstract War's effects on domestic politics have received scant attention in comparative political theory. Most comparativists dismiss wars as crises that disrupt the regular patterns of politics and thus defy theoretical explanation. This article reviews recent attempts to bring war into the mainstream of comparative research. It reviews studies that analyze war as an abnormal event, war preparations, and war as a constant state function. It suggests "war development" as a label for this budding field of research and highlights some promising avenues in incorporating war into theories of comparative politics.
