About this title

Synopsis

This major new textbook on methodology in social and political science focuses centrally on the debate between positivist and constructivist approaches. It introduces in a lively and accessible way a range of key issues--from the nature of knowledge to the strengths and weaknesses of the main research methods--showing how methodological pluralism can be combined with intellectual rigor.
