8: Political Methodology

Jonathan Wand, Stanford University, wand@stanford.edu

The Political Methodology division welcomes paper, panel, and roundtable proposals addressing all aspects of empirical methodology. As in years past, the division encourages submissions dealing with the logic of inquiry, measurement, estimation and specification, and theory development. In particular, the division invites proposals that develop new methodological techniques as well as innovative applications of existing techniques, including those from other disciplines. Proposals that address methodological challenges related to the theme of the conference, "The Politics of Hard Times: Citizens, Nations, and the International System under Economic Stress", will be welcomed.
