Social Science Concepts by Gary Goertz

Winner of the 2007 Giovanni Sartori Book Award "This book will primarily appeal to the social science methodologist..the analysis of concept formation is interesting [and] it clearly contributes to the methodological debate."--Timothy J. White, European Legacy
