Theory and credibility: Integrating theoretical and empirical social science - Princeton Princeton University Press 2021 - xvi,257 p. ill. Includes bibliographical references and index

The credibility revolution, with its emphasis on empirical methods for causal inference, has led to concerns among scholars that the canonical questions about politics and society are being neglected because they are no longer deemed answerable. Theory and Credibility stakes out an opposing view—presenting a new vision of how, working together, the credibility revolution and formal theory can advance social scientific inquiry.
