choice mainstream. Rather, Bates et al. should be seen as ‘‘deploying rational choice
techniquesandanalytical strategiesin the service of an interpretivisttheory’’ (Hay
2004 , 58 ; emphasis in original). But, more important, their work is an example of
reasoned engagement between the traditions.
Such engagement ought to be our future. I fear the professionalization of the
political science discipline is the enemy of diversity; a case of ‘‘vive la diVe ́rence,’’
but not too much.
