Week 3-4 Reading Links revised

Experimental Methodology in Political Science, by Rebecca Morton

This is an essential reading for all Political Science and International Relations students. Not many social scientists actually run experiments but all empirical methods are based on the logic behind experiments. So, read this as carefully as you can
