Although Schneider agrees with me that policy analysis does not occupy a central position in political science, she disagrees with my prescription for increasing its acceptance in the discipline. At the present time, political scientists are unwilling to address questions about how policy tools can be used to increase democracy in a country. But I believe this is an important priority for policy analyses as well as political science.
