Harold D. Lasswell, Politics: Who Gets What, When, How, Cleveland/New York 1936

Muno, Wolfgang·2008·Schlüsselwerke der Politikwissenschaft

Abstract

Harold Dwight Lasswell (1902–1978) gilt als einer der Wegbereiter der modernen Politikwissenschaft. Bereits mit 16 Jahren ging er an die Universität von Chicago. Dort wurde er Schüler und Mitarbeiter von Charles Merriam. Sein Interesse galt der politischen Kommunikation und der politischen Psychologie, später der Politikfeldforschung. Er studierte in London, Paris, Genf und Berlin und wurde mit 24 bereits Assistant Professor an der politikwissenschaftlichen Fakultät in Chicago. Ein Jahr später veröffentlichte er seine Dissertation über Propaganda im Ersten Weltkrieg. 1930 erschien die Studie „Psychopathology and Politics“ (1930), die als eine der ersten systematischen empirischen Studien psychologischer Aspekte politischen Verhaltens gilt. In den letzten beiden Kapiteln versuchte Lasswell, einen theoretischen Bezugsrahmen zu skizzieren, um seine individualpsychologische Forschung mit gesellschaftlichen Phänomenen zu verbinden. Diesen Versuch weitete Lasswell 1935 in „World Politics and Personal Insecurity“ (1935) aus. In dieser Studie sah er politische Prozesse als Konflikte über die Definition und Verteilung sozialer Werte an und formulierte bereits hier den berühmten Satz „Politics is the study of who gets what, when, and how“. Das 1936 erschienene gleichnamige Buch fasste die wesentlichen Gedanken aus „World Politics and Personal Insecurity“ zusammen.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
