When the war was over in 1945, Germany was a country with no government, little functioning infrastructure, millions of refugees and homeless people, and huge foreign armies living largely off the land.

Chapter 4 Norms and Norm Contestation

FPA has long had a focus on agency within the state, particularly individual and group-based decision-making.

Chapter 13 Rebuilding Relationships between Data, Method, and Theories
In both Management and I/O Psychology, contributions to theory remain an important, and in many cases, sole criterion for evaluating submissions to top journals. In many ways, the definition of theory and the primacy of theory in the organizational sciences is an outlier; in most sciences, articles rarely even mention theories, much less build themselves around advancing theory. We propose that…
