It might read like this: “Political science is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, suggesting wrong remedies. asking someone else (that is, the politicians and civil servants) to apply them, and blaming them when they fail to solve the so-called problems.” This is a definition Robert Cox cannot turn down! See “Social Forces, States, and World Orders: Beyond International Relations Theory,” inApproaches to World Order(Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996), 88–90.
