RT Article T1 Bringing Ideas and Religions Back in Political Science: Contributions of Daniel Philpott JF The review of faith & international affairs VO 19 IS 4 SP 5 OP 9 A1 Kuru, Ahmet T. LA English PB Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group YR 2021 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1840480963 AB Political Science has been dominated by quantitative methods and formal theory. Recently, even the editorial board of the American Political Science Review implicitly admitted the domination of statistics and rational choice in the discipline. Yet most books asking big questions have been written by scholars who employ qualitative, particularly comparative historical, methods. Over the last two decades, Daniel Philpott has produced books and articles that primarily employ qualitative methods and examine the causal relationship between ideas and international politics. He has explored such relevant and diverse issues as ideational revolutions and sovereignty, religions and democratization, peace and reconciliation, and religious freedom in the world.
