This volume represents a first. Never before has a book focused completely on the implications of necessary conditions for social science research, logic, methodology, research design, and theory. Rarely is the contrast so wide between the prevalence of a concept in scholarship and its absence in methodology texts. Necessary Conditions presents literally hundreds of necessary condition hypotheses from all areas of political science and other social science methodologies, and is authored by many of the most influential social scientists of the last fifty years. Thus, this volume brings together essential work that deals not only with the analysis of common methodological, logical, and research design errors, but also the proper means-qualitative and quantitative-to analyze the many ramifications of necessary condition hypotheses and theories.

The book makes an important argument accessible to social scientists whether or not they are mathematically or statistically literate. Refreshing. (Sociology)
These essays contribute to fill a critical lacuna in the social science literature. Necessary Conditions deserves to be on the syllabus for all scope-and-methods courses for graduate training. (Journal of Peace Research)
This is an important and timely book. (Contemporary Sociology)
