Making Social Science Matter

The book offers a fresh perspective on the social and behavioral sciences, critiquing their historical attempts to mirror natural sciences. Bent Flyvbjerg emphasizes the importance of reflexive analysis of values and power, which he argues is crucial for societal and economic progress. Through theoretical discussions, methodological guidelines, and practical examples, it presents a compelling case for redefining the role of social sciences. The insightful arguments make it essential reading for students and scholars in the field.
