Critical realism and integrative interdisciplinary research 3. Towards a theory of knowledge production 4. The intellectual context of knowledge production 5. The social context of knowledge production 6. Conclusion: the possibility of integrative interdisciplinary researchReviewsthis is an excellent book which will be enlightening for postgraduates interested in interdisciplinary research in political economy, although its central thesis is relevant to all of the social sciences. Of particular merit is Holland's re-interpretation of the work of several key political economy thinkers in terms of critical realism. Holland also provides an interesting record of the struggles experienced by practitioners of interdisciplinarity - struggles that an engagement with critical realism would largely eradicate. - Leigh Price, Rhodes University, South Africa/ University College London Author InformationDominic Holland holds a PhD from the Department of Politics at the University of Sheffield, where he has taught philosophy of social science, political analysis and social research methods.
