Its comprehensive coverage and user friendliness will make this new 3rd edition most attractive for students across a wide range of courses." - Peter J. Katzenstein, Cornell University (Praise for the third edition) "An excellent introduction to theory and methods in which a distinguished group of scholars present and discuss eight theoretical approaches and seven methods for addressing key questions in Political Science.
