Editorial Review:

This book addresses the need to redefine security in the Middle East. The contributors to the volume come from a wide variety of backgrounds, but have a common interest in dialogue in support of peace in the Middle East. To attempt to redefine security in a time of flux and confusion is a difficult but necessary undertaking, but this book aims to put forward new concepts, new policies, and new discourses about security.

Editorial Review:

What is a relevant research problem? How can I improve concepts and measurements? Which and how many variables and cases should I select? How do I evaluate rival explanations and which theoretical conclusions can I draw? This book offers practical guidelines on these core issues of design for qualitative and quantitative research in political science. It puts special emphasis on the trade-offs involved in design decisions and on illustrations from actual research.

Editorial Review:

Research design in political science has become too technical, mechanical, and uninvolved, argues David A. Bositis as he explains the need for an alternative design regimen that provides the means for real engagement in empirical research.



Bositis’ view offers a theoretical, imaginative, manipulative, and engaging alternative approach to political science research. His text is divided into three main parts. Part 1, "Epistemological Issues in the Design of Research," introduces the work’s themes and context. Included in this discussion are research design as persuasive strategy, a critique of survey research, and a theory of contrivance and demonstration in design. In part 2, "Contrivance and Demonstration in Practice," Bositis examines the practice of design in political science, first through a discussion of the history of experimentation and then through an examination of both an integrated design and participant observation approach. Part 3 "The Politics of Research Design," offers an analysis of the politics and ethics that inform design choices.



An extensive bibliography of nearly 400 entries is one of the most complete listings of experiments in political science to be found anywhere.
