Nevertheless, organizational analysis, business administration, and public
administration are all based upon these assertions. Yet, I feel the need to
emphasize this point to avoid scholarly rejection of PE theory as a result of
these criticisms. In this regard, I have been influenced by Welden’s 1953
analysis of political vocabulary, in which he shows that political words are
imprecise, subjective, and appraisive (ascriptive as well as descriptive), thereby
making controlled experimentation (required for testability) impossible. This
means that we need to give priority to understanding the quality of political
power rather than to attempting its measurement, despite the belief of many
political scientists that “there can be no science without measurement.” There
is always a danger in using political theory of “seeing what you want to see.”
The only escape from this dilemma is to view political reality from many
viewpoints which is what is here attempted
