Abstract

Normative behaviousim is an attempt to infer normative principles from patterns of political behavior. Grounded in the work of Jonathan Floyd and earlier positivists, and it nearly negates the evaluative aspect of political theory. Can this approach supersede evaluative steps? How would it function in various political contexts? The papers of this panel attempt to answer such central questions regarding this approach.
