BIG, SLOW-MOVING, AND … INVISIBLE
[W]e must question if the particular moment matters. Political science owes much of its origin to political journalism. And like political journalism we have an excessive tendency to concentrate on the here and now, a blindness toward movements on a grander time scale. Processes are not so easily captured, but the postulate on which this work must stand is that they matter more.– Edward Carmines and James Stimson (1989)
