June 1, 1995... Political party labels have had a prominent position in American judicial research for many years, where they have substituted for the ideological orientations of judges that are not easily found any other way. Studies using party labels have...
Life-cycle transitions and political participation: the case of marriage.

June 1, 1995... If political science is ready to be disciplined, King, Keohane and Verba's Designing Social Inquiry (KKV) can do that disciplining. By this I mean that the book contains a set of concepts, rules of inference, and methodological precepts that...
