Description

<p>This paper applies a method of citation analysis to research in political science history and raises new analytical methods and points. Here, citation analysis refers to a method of deriving knowledge from the accumulation of citation relationships among documents. Conventionally, in this field where qualitative analysis of text is the mainstream, issues remain that have not been fully considered from the viewpoint of the approach constraints. Therefore, to verify these points, we attempt the quantitative approach of citation analysis. In this paper, using citation data of 70 political science textbooks published after World War II, we examine the theory of Japanese political science history. According to previous studies, there were two transitions in the history of Japanese political science: these were the 1945 break during and after the war, and the shift due to the appearance of the Leviathan group in the 1980s. Our approach confirms these two transformations but reveals a major contrast between them. This result shows the effectiveness of citation analysis in political science history research.</p>
