Taylor & Francis Understanding Political Science Research Methods
Book SynopsisThis text starts by explaining the fundamental goal of good political science researchâthe ability to answer interesting and important questions by generating valid inferences about political phenomena. Before the text even discusses the process of developing a research question, the authors introduce the reader to what it means to make an inference and the different challenges that social scientists face when confronting this task. Only with this ultimate goal in mind will students be able to ask appropriate questions, conduct fruitful literature reviews, select and execute the proper research design, and critically evaluate the work of others. The authors' primary goal is to teach students to critically evaluate their own research designs and othersâ and analyze the extent to which they overcome the classic challenges to making inference: internal and external validity concerns, omitted variable bias, endogeneity, measurement, sampling, and case selection errors, and poor rTrade Review"Understanding Political Science Research Methods is intuitively organized and extremely well-written. It introduces social science research methods in a way that simultaneously presents the challenges and complexity of doing original research while also demystifying the process and making it all sound eminently doable. I plan to use this book in all my courses that require original research papers."—Edward B. Hasecke, Wittenberg University"Barakso, Sabet, and Schaffner ‘draw back the veil’ on the challenges and complexities of political science research, in a refreshingly understandable manner that engages undergraduates. The authors explain the underlying assumptions and hidden decisions underlying the research process, encourage more careful and critical evaluation of the many dubious assertions filling our airwaves and political dialogue, and help students effectively conduct and convey their own research in the classroom and out in the real world."—Pat Sellers, Davidson College"Barasko, Sabet, and Schaffner present the fundamentals of designing empirical political science research in a manner that is concise, thorough, and transparent. Students and instructors alike will benefit from this welcome and valuable contribution."—Francis Neely, San Francisco State University "One rarely comes across introductory research methods textbooks that strike the perfect balance between accessibility, breadth of coverage, and rigor. That Barakso, Sabet, and Schaffner are able to do so is to their credit. That they do so with a fundamentally fresh and interesting take on the material, all the more so."—Matthew Wright, American University"The authors do a wonderful job balancing accessibility and sophistication. The book is a good introduction to political methodology for all types of undergraduates, from the ‘math-phobic’ to those comfortable with statistical analysis."—David J. Ciuk, Franklin & Marshall College"Barakso, Sabet, and Schaffner make the often-daunting concepts of inference and research design clear, accessible, and practical. They do an excellent job of conveying the intuition behind and the analytical components of the research process. This book will be a wonderful addition to any undergraduate research methods course and a nice primer for beginning graduate students in political science."—Jonathan Cole Winburn, The University of Mississippi "Understanding Political Science Research Methods is an excellent text for undergraduate students. The focus on inference, theory, and research design will give students a solid foundation to build upon as they learn about the research process." —Sarah Allen Gershon, Georgia State University"Understanding Political Science Research Methods is intuitively organized and extremely well-written.

Taylor & Francis Teaching Research Methods in the Social Sciences
Book SynopsisIntended to provide both a stimulus and source materials for the development of a more substantial and systematic literature in the field, this book is suitable for those teaching research methods courses within social science disciplines.Trade Review'As a first step towards developing a pedagogical culture in research methods this edited book is not only timely for universities (as they embrace a teaching-focused culture, generally), but also for those researchers who are building curricula in research methods with few texts to guide that process. As the chapter authors are drawn from various disciplines world-wide, their examinations of appropriate pedagogical practices and concrete suggestions for effective teaching strategies will be helpful to anyone teaching research methods.' Lisa M. Given, University of Alberta, Canada 'This book is an excellent guide to what works and what does not work when teaching research methods in the social sciences. I will definitely use what I learned reading this volume for designing my next research methods class, both graduate and undergraduate.'
