While there are examples of noteworthy efforts to bridge the gap between these, there is still a need for much more cooperative work between formal theorists and empirical researchers in the discipline. This book explores how empirical analysis has, can, and should be used to evaluate formal models in political science. The book is intended to be a guide for active and future political scientists who are confronting the issues of empirical analysis with formal models in their work and as a basis for a needed dialogue between empirical and formal theoretical researchers in political science. These developments, if combined, are potentially a basis for a new revolution in political science. 517 3 $aMethods & Models 606 $aPolitical science$xMathematical models 606 $aPolitical statistics 615 0$aPolitical science$xMathematical models. 615 0$aPolitical statistics. 676 $a320/.01/5 700 $aMorton$b Rebecca B.$f1954-$01042516 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450412103321 996 $aMethods and models$92466797 997 $aUNINA
