Rezensionen

There s no better learning experience for political science students than carrying out an original research project. But the task can be daunting for students as well as instructors. Research Methods in Politics and International Relations is an excellent new resource that will be a useful companion as students set out on this endeavor. Boduszynski and Lamont s book is methodologically inclusive and touches on important subjects that are often overlooked, such as research ethics and publishing.
