62 MPIfG Report 1999–2002 stance and method of a dissertation with a candidate’s official Doktorvater (or Doktormutter). Additional Activities Doctoral students at the MPIfG are fully integrated in the intellectual life of the Institute. The MPIfG’s small size ensures that they are from the beginning involved in all activities, including informal discussions, internal seminars and guest lectures. Also, to offer doctoral students optimal working conditions, they are all given single offices. Still, the absence of a diverse university environment, together with the students’ consuming involvement in their thesis research, raises the danger of overspecialization at an early stage of a student’s career. Also, if a student’s training at the university stage was insufficient in specific respects, integration into a research-intensive context such as the MPIfG does not on its own remedy this. Since 1996, the MPIfG has therefore organized internal training courses for its doctoral students. Participation is obligatory, also for project assistants about to move on to a doctoral dissertation grant at a later stage. In August 1999, the two directors began co-teaching a bi-weekly colloquium for the Institute’s doctoral students. The colloquium is listed at the University of Cologne and can be attended by students from outside the MPIfG. Each doctoral student presents his or her research project, which is then discussed by the participants and the directors. Other MPIfG courses aim to expand the reading experience of doctoral candidates beyond their immediate research needs. Four Summer Schools, open also to University of Cologne students, were held in the period from 1999 to 2002: Summer School 1999: Comparative Political Economy. A two-week intensive reading and discussion course taught by Prof. Herbert Kitschelt of Duke University, which ran from June 28–July 7. Summer School 2000: Leading Approaches in German Social Science. A lecture series featuring five prominent German scholars using different approaches and methods in Political Science and Sociology: Prof. Manfred G. Schmidt, University of Bremen; PD Dr. Frank Nullmeier, University of Hamburg; Prof. Dirk Berg- Schlosser, University of Marburg; Prof. Michael Zürn, University of Bremen; and Prof. Richard Münch, University of Bamberg. Speakers first gave a lecture on their research agendas and methods, which was open to all members of the Institute, before discussing their approaches in a two-hour workshop with the doctoral students. Summer School 2001: Game Theory and Its Applications in Political Research. Prof. George Tsebelis (Uni-
versity of California-Los Angeles) introduced twelve participants from inside and outside the MPIfG to the main concepts in game theory, ranging from theoretical aspects – such as strategic interaction, bargaining theory with complete and incomplete information, and veto-player models – to how game theory can be applied to voting in the European Union before and after the Nice Treaty. Summer School 2002: Social Science Methodology. Prof. Scott R. Eliason (University of Michigan-Minneapolis) introduced regression analysis, probabilistic approaches, causal relationships, nonprobabilistic approaches, qualitative comparative analysis, logic and language of program evaluation methods. In addition, the MPIfG organized three short courses in research methodology: Types and Models of Multivariate Analysis. An advanced course in statistical analysis taught by Dr. Jürgen Sensch from the Central Archive for Empirical Social Research at the University of Cologne (September 4–16, 1999). Pooled Time Series Cross-Sectional Analysis. An intensive course on panel statistics, with a special focus on applications in current comparative political economy by PD Dr. Bernhard Kittel, University of Vienna (April 17–May 5, 2000). Cluster Analysis. A one-week introductory course taught by Dr. Uwe Wagschal from the University of Bremen (July 24–28, 2000).
