Studierende der Politik- und Sozialwissenschaften.
Every science needs methods that can be used to obtain reliable and verifiable findings. Choosing the appropriate method is one of the decisive points in developing a research design, whether for a piece of course work or a larger-scale project, since it determines the central aspects from case selection to data analysis. Rolf Frankenberger provides a comprehensive overview of the methodological foundations and central methods of political science. Students will find concise explanations of the theoretical foundations as well as practical applications and discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of central methods. The annotated bibliography also provides further references for more in-depth study, making the book a key resource for postgraduates as well.
