TY - JOUR AU - SINGER, J. DAVID AB - Seven years after the launching of the Correlates of War project there, Stuart Bremer joined the Department of Political Science at the University of Michigan and shortly thereafter began attending the project's weekly research seminar. At his death, thirty‐two years later, Stuart had been Director of the project for 2 years and Chairman of the COW Council for 5 years; the Council was his invention and its leadership his enthusiastic self‐selection. Such a history might suggest that from start to finish he was in full accord with the premises, research program, and overall trajectory of the enterprise. Never has a social science institution had so rigorous, dedicated, and capable a supporter, but rarely have we seen so constructive and lively a critic. As founder and director of the project from 1963 until my retirement in 2000, it is my pleasure to record this fascinating tale. As coordinator of the World Politics program in the Department of Political Science, I first learned about this Michigan State graduate student from his dissertation chairman Rufus Browning and then from Harold Guetzkow with whom Stuart was doing a post‐doctoral stint at Northwestern. I invited him to visit with a few of my TI - Stuart Bremer and the Inductive‐Deductive Issue in the Correlates of War Project, 1970–2002 JF - International Studies Perspectives DO - 10.1111/j.1528-3585.2006.00264.x DA - 2006-11-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/oxford-university-press/stuart-bremer-and-the-inductive-deductive-issue-in-the-correlates-of-ErEhg0gR5u SP - v EP - vii VL - 7 IS - 4 DP - DeepDyve ER -
