( The use of case studies to build and test theories in p...)
The use of case studies to build and test theories in political science and the other social sciences has increased in recent years. Many scholars have argued that the social sciences rely too heavily on quantitative research and formal models and have attempted to develop and refine rigorous methods for using case studies. This text presents a comprehensive analysis of research methods using case studies and examines the place of case studies in social science methodology. It argues that case studies, statistical methods, and formal models are complementary rather than competitive. The book explains how to design case study research that will produce results useful to policymakers and emphasizes the importance of developing policy-relevant theories. It offers three major contributions to case study methodology: an emphasis on the importance of within-case analysis, a detailed discussion of process tracing, and development of the concept of typological theories. Case Studies and Theory Development in the Social Sciences will be particularly useful to graduate students and scholars in social science methodology and the philosophy of science, as well as to those designing new research projects, and will contribute greatly to the broader debate about scientific methods.

( Alexander and Juliette George have long been noted for ...)
Alexander and Juliette George have long been noted for their pathbreaking research concerning the impact of personality on political behavior and how U.S. presidents manage their political office. The Georges' earlier book, Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House: A Personality Study, was widely acclaimed as a successful demonstration that careful biography of historical figures in the light of depth psychology can yield new insight into their political behavior.Drawing heavily on Wilson materials, early chapters of this book examine the relevance of psychoanalytic theory and the use of other psychodynamic approaches to case materials. Chapter 4 is the Georges' reply—published here in full for the first time—to a critical review of their work by historian Arthur S. Link and two of his colleagues. A condensed version that appeared over a decade ago generated a continuing scholarly controversy in which historians, political scientists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and ophthalmologists have participated.Chapter 5 discusses methods of writing psychobiography and assessing presidential character, including the psychological suitability of candidates for the office. The concluding chapter analyzes the presidential management styles of FDR, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, JFK, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and Bill Clinton.

This short text is perfect for a capstone course at the undergraduate level or for an introduction at the graduate level. Alexander L. George - a leading light in U.S. foreign policy - has written a reflection on what he calls the "puzzles and gaps" he has discovered in his study and practice over the past 60 years. In the process, he not only covers his own areas of inquiry - such as his pioneering use of the case study method -but also manages to outline the major debates and dilemmas within foreign policy scholarship that persist to this day. Also included is a preview of new work that Alex George is developing with David A. Hamburg, former president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
