Methods and Models: A Guide to the Empirical Analysis of Formal Models in Politi

Description: Methods and Models by Rebecca B. Morton This book explores how empirical analysis has, can, and should be used to evaluate formal models in political science. These developments, if combined, are potentially a basis for a new revolution in political science. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description At present much of political science consists of a large body of formal theoretical work that remains largely unexplored empirically and an expanding use of sophisticated statistical techniques. While there are examples of noteworthy efforts to bridge the gap between these, there is still a need for much more cooperative work between formal theorists and empirical researchers in the discipline. This book explores how empirical analysis has, can, and should be used to evaluate formal models in political science. These developments, if combined, are potentially a basis for a new revolution in political science. Table of Contents Part I. Introduction: 1. Political sciences dilemma; Part II.
