"Every once in a long while a book comes along that shifts the
debate entirely by altering the vantage point from which we
approach the study of politics. This is such a book. Maneuvering
masterfully across diverse literatures and drawing on an
extraordinary range of empirical cases, Pierson identifies key
mechanisms that give meaning and precision to the abstract claim
that history matters. Through analysis and illustration, he
provides new insights into exactly how, when, and why this is true.
This is an enormously important and agenda-setting work."--Kathleen
Thelen, Northwestern University
"Paul Pierson is a leading voice in new social science debates
on temporality and path dependence. He has now taken a major step
forward by unifying his arguments in an integrated statement. This
book will be indispensable for scholars across several disciplines
who are concerned with comparative-historical analysis, innovative
perspectives on causal assessment, and integrative approaches that
bridge qualitative and quantitative methods."---David Collier,
University of California, Berkeley
""Politics in Time" is a splendid book that will shape debates
in political science and beyond for many years to come. It
represents the most systematic and thorough statement on theorizing
temporal processes in the social sciences ever written. Pierson
sets new agendas by challenging researchers to take time seriously,
especially those who work in analytic traditions that traditionally
have been relatively atemporal."--James Mahoney, Brown University,
author of "The Legacies of Liberalism"
