It is not true that our call for pluralism implies a comfortable and parochial view of political science. The defense of pluralism does not mean giving up academic standards but simply admitting that there are many "good" ways to make global political science. The
epistemological, theoretical and methodological diversity far from being a problem represents a wonderful opportunity.
