Críticas:

"This excellent collection of essays, conjoined with reprinted papers by McKelvey, documents the continuing influence of one of the seminal forces in modern political science. High-quality commentaries on some of the most important published papers in political science highlight both McKelvey's empirical and theoretical contributions, and argue that McKelvey did indeed provide the building blocks for the research agendas being pursued today." --Gary Miller, Professor of Political Science, Washington University in St. Louis -- (01/15/2007) "Richard McKelvey made brilliant contributions to political science. This volume collects some of his most important papers and includes perspectives and comments on his work by noted scholars. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers." --Thomas Romer, Professor of Politics and Public Affairs, Princeton University -- (12/15/2006) "If there were a Nobel Prize in Political Science, the late Richard McKelvey's name would have been high on the short list. This outstanding book shows why, by presenting McKelvey's original work on seven major contributions to the discipline, along with interpretative essays by numerous major scholars. This book is the essential McKelvey." --William R. Keech, Professor Emeritus of Political Economy, Carnegie Mellon University -- (12/13/2006) "Richard McKelvey's fundamental contributions to the foundations of political choice and to model-based empirical research are brought together in this volume. Their value is greatly enhanced by the perspectives provided by outstanding scholars." --Kenneth J. Arrow, Stanford University -- (10/26/2006)

Reseña del editor:

The late Richard McKelvey was one of the great figures of American political science, a masterful theorist and analyst. Yet, until now, his foundational articles have never been collected in a single volume. ""Positive Changes in Political Science"" presents McKelvey's most influential work on voting and political behavior, accompanied by new essays from some of the most important figures in modern positive political theory. The book documents the incredible scope of McKelvey's work, and expands upon it with essays that set the agenda for future generations of research.
