Explanation
★All four pairs are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
★Arthur F. Bentley, with his group theory of politics, is among the fathers of contemporary political science.
★Karl Popper gave the idea of piecemeal social engineering against utopian planning.
★Graham Wallas urged an empirical, psychological approach to the study of human behaviour in politics.
★Herbert Simon brought the behavioural approach to decision making with bounded rationality.
★Simon argued that real decision makers satisfice rather than maximise.
★Each thinker is thus joined to an idea genuinely his own.
