Books by Jennifer (University of Arizona) Cyr

A concise and accessible introduction to focus groups, Cyr highlights the unique, inter-related features of the method for data collection in social science. She explains if, when, and how to use focus groups effectively as a stand-alone method, or as part of a multi-method research design.

The Fates of Political Parties focuses on a number of individual Latin American countries as well as the region as a whole, identifying considerable variation regarding how parties survive and even revive after an electoral crisis. The book demonstrates that parties can be remarkably enduring institutions.
