Att Fråga Och Att Svara
Att fråga och att svara går igenom de centrala stegen i att skapa och analysera en undersökning. Boken riktar sig till studerande inom samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen och utredare inom förvaltning. Tonvikten i boken ligger på tekniker för att tolka och analysera ett empiriskt material.Fallstudier och statistik, eller kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod, kompletterar varandra inom samhällsvetenskapen. Bokens huvudsyfte är att visa att de grundläggande vetenskapliga kriterierna egentligen inte skiljer sig mellan dessa perspektiv. Den vetenskapliga logiken är densamma. Om författarna Jan Teorell är docent i statsvetenskap vid Lunds universitet. Torsten Svensson är docent i statsvetenskap vid Uppsala universitet.

Statsbyggnad Och Den Globala Ordningens Ursprung
Den moderna staten byggdes enligt de flesta bedömare under det som brukar kallas det långa 1800-talet (ca 1789-1914). Staten gjorde då stora framsteg med att kunna driva in nya skatter, att reformera byråkratin och att via folkräkningar och statistiska centralbyråer kunna kartlägga sitt territorium och sin befolkning. Men vad innebär det egentligen att bygga en stat? Vad var detta statsbyggandes drivkrafter, och hur såg relationen ut mellan byggandet av en stat på den inhemska arenan och de ordnade relationer mellan stater som växte fram på den internationella arenan?Forskningsprogrammet State Making and the Origins of Global Order in the Long Nineteenth Century and Beyond tilldelades anslag av Stiftelsen Riksbankens Jubileumsfond 2014. Detta är programmets slutrapport.
