Policy History: Regimes, International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences (Elsevier Science Ltd., 2001), Work in Progress Coalitions and the Countryside: Explaining Regime Change in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East. (Cornell University Press, forthcoming). This book advances and defends propositions explaining regime dynamics--the origins of democracy and dictatorship and the determinants of their relative durability--in the twentieth-century, post-colonial world. Portions of the manuscript, including the major theoretical propositions and empirical material from the Middle East and Latin America, are circulating in a paper titled Rural Incorporation and Regime Outcomes, which I will be submitting shortly to the journal Politics & Society. The anticipated date for completing the book manuscript is August

2 The Philosophy of Social Science Methodology. My third book contributes to ongoing methodological debates by focusing on the philosophical presuppositions of contemporary methodological approaches. Early chapters make synthetic arguments about crucial topics, such as the the nature of causality, the plausibility of models incorporating ideas of determinism, the status of structuralist theories, the criteria of explanatory adequacy and unification, the displacement of logical positivism by causal realism, and problems posed by theoretical underdetermination. Later chapters use this material to revisit debates between advocates of quantitative and qualitative approaches, and to consider critically particular instantiations of the latter. Material from this project is currently circulating in two papers: From Intra-Type Variation to the Origins of Types, and Anti Anti-Determinism: Schrödinger s Cat and Lorenz s Butterfly Meet Laplace s Demon in the Study of Economic and Political Development. The anticipated date for the completion of this manuscript is September Conference Papers and Invited Talks On the Non-Institutional Origins of the Institutional Foundations of Capitalism, Harvard Business School, May Probabilistic and Deterministic Conceptions of Causality: Methodological Implications, Institute in Qualitative Research Methods, Arizona State University, January Urban-Rural Coalitions and Durable Dictatorships in the Middle East, annual meeting of the Middle East Studies Association, November Panel convener and chair, panel on Probability, Contingency, and Determinism in Comparative Historical Analysis, annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Boston, MA, September Anti Anti-Determinism: Schrödinger s Cat and Lorenz s Butterfly Meet Laplace s Demon in the Study of Economic and Political Development, annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Boston, MA, September Discussant, panel on Temporal Dimensions of Comparative Analysis, annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Boston, MA, September From Intra-Type Variations to the Origins of Types: Recovering the Macro-Analytics of State Building. presented at conference on The New Political Economy of Asia, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College, May Roundtable participant, panel on Riptides and Undertows in the Third Wave of Democracy: Non-Democratic Regimes and Transitions, annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association, Chicago, IL, April Rural Incorporation and Regime Outcomes, University of Washington, March Rural Incorporation and Regime Outcomes, University of Pennsylvania, March Discussant, panel on State Formation in Historical Perspective, annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Washington, D.C., September Crossing Disciplines, Crossing Borders: A Macro-Historical Perspective on Political and Economic Transformation in the Middle East and East Asia, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, October Discussant, panel on International Influences on Development, annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, San Francisco, CA, September
