The classicist political studies established a legacy of wholism with the institution at the center and integrating the institution with values. Behaviorism and rational choice which rebell against the tradition, belong to the science of behavior from the perspective of individualism. The neo-institutionalism which centers around the institution shows characters of both wholism and individualism. It offers possibilities for integration of political studies, and may serve as a bridge to new classicist political science. New classicist political science include institution-centeredness, combination of political science and political philosophy, and integration of wholism and individualism as well.

In view of the state-society relation, Giddens proposed that the new types of states included the traditional state, the absolutist states, and the nation-state. North, the representative of neo-institutionalism, explained loss and gains of the first modern states with theory of dilemma of state intentions. Huntington, on the other hand, summarized theory of state transition in the light of the political changes of many states during the 1970s and 1980s. This paper attempts to testify the validity and reliability of these theories based on evidence from the process of modernization of China and other major powers.

Evidence of this can be found in Truman doctrine, Mr. X and NSC-68, which are all important references for studying the cause of the cold war. On the other hand, due to complicated political procedures at home, heads of American governments tend to resort to political propaganda to overcome obstacles in order to get their policies legalized. Obviously, ideology can function as a useful means for this end. In this sense the cause of the cold war can be considered as a most classical case for studying the role ideology plays in American foreign affairs. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics
