Political methodology has changed dramatically over the past thirty
years, and many new methods and techniques have been developed.
Both the Political Methodology Society and the
Qualitative/Multi-Methods Section of the American Political Science
Association have engaged in ongoing research and training programs
that have advanced quantitative and qualitative methodology. The
Oxford Handbook of Political Methodology presents and synthesizes
these developments.
The Handbook provides comprehensive overviews of diverse
methodological approaches, with an emphasis on three major themes.
First, specific methodological tools should be at the service of
improved conceptualization, comprehension of meaning, measurement,
and data collection. They should increase analysts' leverage in
reasoning about causal relationships and evaluating them
empirically by contributing to powerful research designs. Second,
the authors explore the many different ways of addressing these
tasks: through case-studies and large-n designs, with both
quantitative and qualitative data, and via techniques ranging from
statistical modelling to process tracing. Finally, techniques can
cut across traditional methodological boundaries and can be useful
for many different kinds of researchers. Many of the authors thus
explore how their methods can inform, and be used by, scholars
engaged in diverse branches of methodology.
