Pleased to share that 'Empirical Political Theory: A Methodological Framework', by yours truly, is forthcoming with Oxford University Press, with publication planned for spring 2026. I am grateful to the friends who made this possible, and to the ECPR Group on Methods of Normative Political Theory.

Needed to merge several different bibliographic lists into one, delete redundancies, arrange alphabetically, and consistently arrange according to APA. A tedious task. Claude did it in 30 seconds.
