This article introduces the special issue on Rhetorical Approaches to Contemporary Political Studies. It underscores the importance of innovations in political speech as a key to the continuing attraction of scholars to rhetorical methods. This is particularly relevant at a moment of crisis and disruption in established democracies when the parameters of acceptable discourse have been brought into question by forms of ‘post-truth’ politics. Although controversial, such efforts affirm the value of rhetorical analysis as a mode of political enquiry. The article then sketches the arguments of the contributions to the issue.

特刊介绍:当代政治研究的修辞方法
本文介绍了当代政治研究的修辞方法专刊。它强调了政治演讲创新的重要性,因为它是持续吸引学者使用修辞方法的关键。当“后真相”政治的形式对可接受话语的参数提出质疑时,这在既定的民主国家发生危机和瓦解的时刻尤为重要。尽管存在争议,但这种努力肯定了修辞分析作为一种政治探究模式的价值。然后,文章概述了对该问题的贡献的论据。
