	This new textbook on methodology in social and political science focuses on the debate between positivist and constructivist approaches. It introduces a range of key issues - from the nature of knowledge to the strengths and weaknesses of the main research methods - showing how methodological pluralism can be combined with intellectual rigour. 'Ways of Knowing is one of a kind. Emphasising methodology and the contrast between naturalist and constructivist ways of knowing, this excellent text addresses fundamental questions in social science methodology in a highly accessible manner.' - Charles Ragin, University of Arizona, USA 'This is a wonderful book, combining a clear exposition of the competing methodologies in the historical social sciences with a reasoned plea for methodological pluralism. Students and their teachers will learn a lot from it, as I myself have.' - Immanuel Wallerstein, Yale University, USA 'A marvelous introduction to methods and methodologies of research. This is the rare introductory textbook that educates students and scholars alike.' - Keith Topper, Northwestern University, USA 'An outstanding textbook and a timely and indispensable guide to social and political analysis of the contemporary world' - Henry W. Nau, George Washington University, USA 'An elegantly written and highly accessible introduction to a topic that is all-too-often opaque and jargon filled. This is a terrific book that my students will find a godsend.' - Richard W. Mansbach, Iowa State University, USA "Erudite and often engaging_ this is a book which will be of value to both students and established researchers." - Wyn Grant, Political Studies Introduction Philosophy of Naturalist Science The Experimental Method The Statistical Method The Comparative Method History and Case Studies Sowing Doubts about the Naturalist Method A Constructivist Philosophy of Science From Story Telling to Telling Stories Comparing Interpretations Contextualizing Statistics Interpretive Experiments Conclusion JONATHON W.
