Description
This practical guide to social scientific scholarship focuses on the skills of both theorizing and writing. It explores the importance of identifying relations between concepts that explain social entities, and producing a text that convincingly advances the theory constructed.
The book distinguishes between the research process and the reporting process, emphasizing the need for clear expression of ideas to others. It presents techniques for structuring arguments in essays, papers, articles or books, as well as methods for theorizing based on visualized and logical connections of ideas, concepts and empirical patterns.
Richly illustrated with practical examples, this volume offers a toolbox for the development and presentation of social thought, making it an essential resource for students and teachers across the social sciences.
