===Methodological critiques=== Schram and Caterino (2006) <ref>{{cite book |last1=Caterino, Schram |first1=Brian, Sanford F. |title=Making political science matter: debating knowledge, research, and method |date=2006 |publisher=New York University Press |pages=4β5 |url=https://web-p-ebscohost-com.uea.idm.oclc.org/ehost/ebookviewer/ebook/bmxlYmtfXzIwMDkzOF9fQU41?sid=2c916317-ecdd-4b1b-b4b3-58418d8af99a@redis&vid=0&format=EB&lpid=lp_1&rid=0}}</ref> contains a fundamental methodological criticism of rational choice theory for promoting the view that the natural science model is the only appropriate methodology in social science and that political science should follow this model, with its emphasis on quantification and mathematization.
