This is the first book to explain how to use key methods in
analytical political theory. The methods discussed include
contractualism, reflective equilibrium, positive political theory,
thought experiments and ideological analysis. Many discussions of
political theory methods describe and justify these methods with
little or no discussion of their application, emphasizing 'what is'
and 'why do' over 'how to'. This book covers all three. Each
chapter explains what kinds of problems in political theory might
require researchers to use a particular method, the basic
principles behind the method being proposed, and an analysis of how
to apply it, including concrete principles of good practice. The
book thus summarizes methodological ideas, grouped in one place and
made accessible to students, and it makes innovative contributions
to research methods in analytical political theory.
