'Testing theories with historical data has become increasingly popular among social scientists. Often, however, history is 'used' uncritically, after stripping social and political phenomena of their spatial and temporal context, or by forcing monocausal models on complex and distant realities. Kreuzer's impressive volume offers a very persuasive warning against such strategies and proposes a conceptual apparatus to use history consciously in the social sciences. Written in a very accessible language, this book should be required reading for all graduate students and social scientists who plan to engage with history.' Giovanni Capoccia, Professor of Comparative Politics, University of Oxford 'Kreuzer reminds us that doing history is much more than mining data from a more or less remote past to test our hypotheses or establish some causal effect. He offers us a nuanced and thorough guide for how to go about it and, in doing so, he widens our horizons and improves our research.' Stathis N. Kalyvas, Gladstone Professor of Government, University of OxfordMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
