本文的主旨再於探討當代研究政治的三個層面：哲學、基礎、研究途徑、以及研究方法，從而瞭解政治研究的未來發展方向。整個研究乃係採用「後實證觀點」為論述基準，而研究範圍則侷限於經驗─分析模式和歷史─詮釋模式兩類。全文共有五章，分別略述如下：

第一章導論。旨在說明研究緣起及目的、研究範圍與方法、以及研究架構。

第二章政治研究的哲學基礎。介紹當代四個主要的哲學流派：實證主義、否政論、科學歷史主義、科學實論：並企圖建構一個提示性的分析架構。

第三章政治研究的分析途徑。分成行為論和後行為論兩類取向途徑，繼而論列四個政治研究的概念途徑：心理研究途徑、系統論和、結構功能途徑、理性抉擇途徑、現象學和符號互動途徑。

第四章政治研究的方法技術。討論政治研究中五種常用的方法類型：歷史文獻法、個案研究法、內容分析法、樣本調查法、以及自然觀察法；並試圖研究量的研究與質的研究整合的可能性及策略。

第五章結論。提出四項研究發現，並擬定五點建議。
