Synopsis

Understand the "how" and the "why" behind research in political science.

• Streamlined content that delivers greater clarity of concepts and a tighter focus on what matters most
• Learning objectives encourage close, focused reading and measurable takeaways
• New and updated examples of research serve as touchstones throughout the book and demonstrate a greater variety of data collection methods:
• Greater emphasis on how particular research methods are used by undergraduate students
• Expanded coverage of the role of the Internet in research and analysis
• A brand new annotated research article in Chapter 15
