The Oxford Handbook of Political Methodology by Janet M Box-Steffensmeier

The Oxford Handbooks of Political Science are the essential guide to the state of political science today. With engaging contributions from major international scholars The Oxford Handbook of Political Methodology provides the key point of reference for anyone working throughout the discipline.

Review from previous edition This Handbook contains an extraordinary collection of magisterial articles by many of the best methodological minds in political scienceProminent statisticians, econometricians, and sociologists who have taken an interest in our inferential problems are also well represented. The range is broad and substantive, with quantitative, qualitative, formal-theoretic, historical, and mixed methods discussed in relation to all the empirical subfields of the discipline. Every sect will find something to its taste, and those who celebrate the methodological diversity of the profession will have a feast. The articles are written to be accessible, and graduate students will find no better place to begin developing their own methodological judgment. This book is a splendid achievement. * Christopher H. Achen, Roger Williams Straus Professor of Social Sciences, Princeton University *
This extraordinary series offers 'state of the art' assessments that instruct, engage, and provoke. No one who is immersed in the discipline's controversies and possibilities should miss the intellectual stimulation and critical appraisal these works so powerfully provide. * Ira Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History, Columbia University. *
This blockbuster set is a must-have for scholars and students alike. Each volume is crafted by a distinguished set of editors who have assembled critical, comprehensive, essays. These volumes will help to shape the discipline for many years to come. * Theda Skocpol, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Government and Sociology, Harvard University. *
