Theory and Credibility
A clear and comprehensive framework for bridging the widening gap between theorists and empiricists in social scienceThe credibility revolution, with its emphasis on empirical methods for causal inference, has led to concerns among scholars that the canonical questions about politics and society are being neglected because they are no longer deemed answerable. Drawing on diverse examples from political science, it presents a typology of the rich set of interactions that are possible between theory and Theory and Credibility stakes out an opposing view--presenting a new vision of how, working together, the credibility revolution and formal theory can advance social scientific inquiry.This authoritative book covers the conceptual foundations and practicalities of both model building and research design, providing a new framework to link theory and empirics.
