It deals with the present (and future) of political science methods in Europe in order to explore a multifaceted dilemma concerning not only the prospects for the profession, but also political scientists? ability to do their part in empowering supranational integration and democracy. Thus, the book offers a broad analytical reflection on the changing ways that political scientists use ?methods? and ?methodological tools? in their daily work. It examines the evolution of processes regarding the standardization and dissemination of a reliable methodological inventory and invites readers to foster a methodological pluralism and improve the quality of methods available to the community of political science scholars. In order to do so, it analyzes the development of European Political Science since the turn of the 21st century from the particular angle of the sensibility for questions of methods. In a nutshell, the common denominator of all chapters is the evolution of the ?toolkit? available to political scientists, since they show that the methodological sensibility and specific methodological instruments have since spread across countries, disciplines, and generations of scholars. The Editors Luca Verzichelli is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Siena (Italy). Claudius Wagemann is a Professor of Political Science Methods at Goethe University in Frankfurt (Germany). 410 0$aContributions to Political Science,$x2198-7297 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aComparative government 606 $aMethodology of Political Science 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aComparative Politics 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 14$aMethodology of Political Science. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 676 $a320.0721 700 $aVerzichelli$b Luca$0124426 701 $aWagemann$b Claudius$01836607 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018743303321 996 $aThe Application of Political Science Methods in Europe$94414808 997 $aUNINA
