This book is a landmark in the development of political methodology.
Trade ReviewGary King's
Unifying Political Methodology is at once an introduction to the likelihood theory of statistical inference and an evangelist's call for us to change our ways of doing political methodology. One need not accept the altar call to benefit enormously from the book, but the intellectual debate over the call for reformation is likely to be the enduring contribution of the work." —Charles Franklin,
American Political Science Review"King's book is one of the only existing books which deal with political methodology in a clear and consistent framework. The material in it is now and will continue to be essential reading for all serious students and researchers in political methodology." —R. Michael Alvarez, California Institute of Tech-nology
