Paul M. Kellstedt s and Guy D. Whitten s The Fundamentals of
Political Science Research provides an introduction to the
scientific study of politics, supplying students with the basic
tools needed to be both critical consumers and producers of
scholarly research in political science. The book begins with a
discussion of what it means to take a scientific approach to the
study of politics. At the core of such an approach is the
development of causal theories. Because there is no magic formula
by which theories are developed, the authors present a series of
strategies and develop an integrated approach to research design
and empirical analyses that allows students to determine the
plausibility of their causal theories. The text s accessible
presentation of mathematical concepts and regression models with
two or more independent variables is a key component to this
process, along with the integration of examples from political
science and the real world to help students grasp the fundamental
concepts.
