A Conversation With Robert D. Putnam. Robert Putnam, March 16, 2016, Video. "A best-selling author and professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, Robert Putnam is one of America's leading political scientists. In recent years, he has written widely on the decline in America's civic life, and, with it, our capacity for self-government. In this conversation, Putnam discusses his research on declining levels of civic participation in America and presents his interpretation of the reasons for it. Putnam also recalls how actual political developments awakened his interest in political science, and explains how social science might help us address public policy problems," writes the Foundation for Constitutional Government, the sponsor of the series."
