One of the hallmarks of the development of political science as a
discipline has been the creation of new methodologies by scholars
within the discipline--methodologies that are well-suited to the
analysis of political data. Gary King has been a leader in the
development of these new approaches to the analysis of political
data. In his book, Unifying Political Methodology, King shows how
the likelihood theory of inference offers a unified approach to
statistical modeling for political research and thus enables us to
better analyze the enormous amount of data political scientists
have collected over the years. Newly reissued, this book is a
landmark in the development of political methodology and continues
to challenge scholars and spark controversy. Gary King's Unifying
Political Methodology is at once an introduction to the likelihood
theory of statistical inference and an evangelist's call for us to
change our ways of doing political methodology. One need not accept
the altar call to benefit enormously from the book, but the
intellectual debate over the call for reformation is likely to be
the enduring contribution of the work. --Charles Franklin, American
Political Science Review King's book is one of the only existing
books which deal with political methodology in a clear and
consistent framework. The material in it is now and will continue
to be essential reading for all serious students and researchers in
political methodology. --R. Michael Alvarez, California Institute
of Tech-nology Gary King is Professor of Government, Harvard
University. One of the leading thinkers in political methodology,
he is the author of A Solution to the Ecological InferenceProblem:
Reconstructing Individual Behavior from Aggregate Data and other
books and articles.
