it then draws an analogy to the social sciences in order to answer the question, how does one decide which theory of international relations is best? This, however, requires that we lay out the appropriate criteria for choosing a natural science theory Chapter raises some of the contemporary questions about applying the analogy with the natural sciences The book concludes with a sketch in Chapter of a possible solution to some of the problems of methodology and metatheory raised in the previous chapters This book began at the urging of David Pervin of Palgrave Macmillan and would not have been written without his vigorous encouragement Toby Wahl seamlessly took over the project in the later phases Patrick Jackson of the American University and Mai’a Davis Cross of Colgate University put much time and effort into reading the entire manuscript and making many insightful and important recommendations, which led to significant improvements in both content and structure The treatment of a variety of issues was sharpened by conversations
