A Model Discipline: Political Science and the Logic of Representations
Clarke, Kevin A. (Associate Professor of Political Science, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Rochester)
Political science is an intensely quantitative discipline, and models are central. Political scientists use models-formal and informal, statistical and qualitative-to investigate and illuminate causal mechanisms, generate comparative data, and understand the conditions under which certain outcomes are expected to occur. But how do we justify and rationalize the method? Why test predictions from a deductive, and thus truth-preserving, system? David Primo and KevinClarke tackle these central questions in this novel work of methodology.
