Notes

For Werth, metadisciplinary means a "larger curricular focus that transcends or supersedes traditional disciplinary boundaries to create a truly holistic, systemic, integrative worldview uncluttered by familiar limits and barriers. Instead of merely linking two or more customary fields together at their margins, a metadisciplinary focus reveals that all such fields are fundamentally related in numerous significant ways, both theoretically and practically. Such a focus demonstrates that no one can legitimately study political science with- out due consideration of history or philosophy....One could study only elephant ears or tusks, but one must see these as components of a coherent, unified whole."
