John Gerring's exceptional textbook has been thoroughly revised in
this second edition. It offers a one-volume introduction to social
science methodology relevant to the disciplines of anthropology,
economics, history, political science, psychology and sociology.
This new edition has been extensively developed with the
introduction of new material and a thorough treatment of essential
elements such as conceptualization, measurement, causality and
research design. It is written for students, long-time
practitioners and methodologists and covers both qualitative and
quantitative methods. It synthesizes the vast and diverse field of
methodology in a way that is clear, concise and comprehensive.
While offering a handy overview of the subject, the book is also an
argument about how we should conceptualize methodological problems.
Thinking about methodology through this lens provides a new
framework for understanding work in the social sciences.
