Comments on the debate over methodological or scientific rigor vs the pursuit of substantive political knowledge argues that the latter should be the discipline's priority. The argument is supported by five key points: (1) Scientific inquiry should serve human interests -- ie, knowledge for its own "sake" ought not be a goal. (2) Scientific study of political matters has particularly human implications & consequences. (3) Political science focuses on objects that most people would deem "important" or "significant." (4) The nature of political science inquiry precludes reliance on strictly empirical, quantifiable, or causal formulation. (5) Intellectual honesty, not methodological doctrine, is the essential basis of all scientific inquiry. 1 Reference. K. Coddon

AbstractPolitical decisions, constellations, and behaviors exert a large influence of the dynamics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (Sars‐CoV‐2) pandemic. Politics influences the choice of containment policies and the compliance with these policies—and therefore ultimately the epidemiological situation in each country, state, district, or even neighborhood. This introduction puts the articles collected in this special issue into the broader perspective of the social science literature on Covid‐19.

Dynamic strategies are an essential part of politics. In the context of campaigns, for example, candidates continuously recalibrate their campaign strategy in response to polls and opponent actions. Traditional causal inference methods, however, assume that these dynamic decisions are made all at once, an assumption that forces a choice between omitted variable bias and posttreatment bias. Thus, these kinds of "single-shot" causal inference methods are inappropriate for dynamic processes like campaigns. I resolve this dilemma by adapting methods from biostatistics, thereby presenting a holistic framework for dynamic causal inference. I then use this method to estimate the effectiveness of an inherently dynamic process: a candidate's decision to "go negative." Drawing on U.S. statewide elections (2000-2006), I find, in contrast to the previous literature and alternative methods, that negative advertising is an effective strategy for nonincumbents. I also describe a set of diagnostic tools and an approach to sensitivity analysis. Adapted from the source document.
