Description
Theory and Methods in Political Science by Vivien Lowndes, David Marsh, and Gerry Stoker provides a comprehensive overview of approaches to studying politics. This fully revised fourth edition offers cutting-edge coverage from fundamental to contemporary issues, incorporating guides to further reading and examples of how research methods can be applied. The book serves as an ideal foundation for study and research in political science, making it suitable for students at any stage of their degree. It is also a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on political analysis, theory, and methods. By exploring independent research in political science, readers can begin thinking about formulating their own research agendas. This edition features new chapters on post-structuralism as a theoretical approach and 'big data' as a methodological resource, offering an international perspective on political science that includes discussion of global politics and a range of international cases and examples.
