World Politics Theory Building
Structures portable theoretical arguments, causal mechanisms, and scope conditions for manuscripts targeting top political science journals.
World Politics Theory Building is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to transform single-case empirical findings into generalizable, high-impact theoretical contributions suitable for leading journals like World Politics, Comparative Political Studies, and International Organization. It assists political science researchers in defining precise concepts without concept stretching, establishing step-by-step causal mechanisms, delineating rigorous scope conditions, and deriving testable observable implications for empirical evaluation or formal game-theoretic models.
