Theory, Methodology and Results in Political Science – The Case of Output Studies

George A. Boyne

British Journal of Political Science, 1985, vol. 15, issue 4, 473-515

Abstract: This review evaluates the success of output studies in explaining intranational variation in the policies of local governments. Output studies address the central question of political science: why do different governments adopt different policies? It is therefore important to examine the contribution of output studies to our understanding of the reasons for policy variation and the role of politics within the relevant causal processes.
