Political Methodology

Political Methodology is the study of the techniques and tools used to analyze political phenomena. It encompasses a range of quantitative and qualitative methods, including statistical analysis, surveys, experiments, and case studies, to understand voter behavior, policy outcomes, and political institutions. By applying these methods, political scientists can identify patterns, test hypotheses, and draw conclusions about how politics works. This field helps to make sense of complex political dynamics and informs decisions made by policymakers, scholars, and the public.
