Some colleagues are putting together lists of "classics" for subfields in
political science.  The idea is to have a collection of 20 or so books (or
other major workds) that grad students should be familiar with when
preparing for exams.  These are works that help define major problems
addressed by scholars.  Regardess of whether such a list is useful, there
is obviously going to be differences in the way previous research is used
in each subfield.  I would appreciate any thoughts on whether such a list
could be constructed and if so what you would nominate for such a list.
Feel free to email me directly ([log in to unmask]).  I'll report back next
week on the "canon".
