Description
Theories and Methods in Political Science provides a major new overview of the state of political science comprising specially-commissioned chapters by expert contributors. It assesses the main approaches to the discipline from institutionalism to feminism and the key methodologies from quantitative analysis to comparative studies and provides an up to date account of theories of the state and the distribution of power. A concluding chapter by the editors provides a balance sheet of the state of the discipline and its future priorities.
