Research Methods in Politics

Analytical Methods for Social Research

Analytical Methods for Social Research presents texts on empirical and formal methods for the social sciences. Volumes in the series address both the theoretical underpinnings of analytical techniques, as well as their application in social research. Some series volumes are broad in scope, cutting across a number of disciplines. Others focus mainly on methodological applications within specific fields such as political science, sociology, demography, and public health. The series serves a mix of students and researchers in the social sciences and statistics. General Editors: R. Michael Alvarez, California Institute of Technology; Nathaniel L. Beck, New York University; Lawrence L. Wu, New York University; Stephen L. Morgan, Cornell University

Structural Analysis in the Social Sciences

This series is designed to bring together under a single rubric social scientific research undertaken from a structural perspective. Each volume in the series demonstrates the value of a structural approach in a particular subject area, while the series as a whole brings the achievements of structurally-oriented scholars to the attention of a wider public, and thereby encourages others to approach their theory and research in this very fruitful way. General Editor: Mark Granovetter, Stanford University, California
