<p>gabew42,</p>
<p>Political science, in the past decade or two (particulary with the Rochester revolution) has become remarkably scientific and predictive. Many of the better theories are very accurate in their ability to predict outcomes. True, they are not at the level of many of the natural sciences, but that doesn't make it any less scientific. Science isn't about producing results, it's about methodology.</p>
<p>Hey, I was wondering what, besides Law school, a double major in Polsci and Art could do? I'm a bit confused how art can really help me with Polsci.... it's one of my essay questions, and im stumped.</p>
<p>It probably isn't going to be incredibly useful in your political science work, unless you get into the politics of art funding or something like that. They're not well-linked fields.</p>

<p>Do yourself a favor: Learn to love US politics or political economics. No money in IR! Trust me, I know! :(</p>
<p>What is/was the Rochester revolution?</p>
<p>If you're referring to the U of Rochester's poli sci dept...</p>
<p>The so-called "Rochester Revolution," from what I've been told, happened in the 1960s and 1970s, when Rochester had groundbreaking faculty like Riker, who changed the face of poli sci. Poli sci, which used to be much more qualitative, adopted game theory and mathematics in order to develop better tools for proving arguments. Rochester's faculty was key in making poli sci more effective and better able to predict trends.</p>
