Designing Social Inquiry
The classic work on qualitative methods in political scienceDesigning Social Inquiry presents a unified approach to qualitative and quantitative research in political science, showing how the same logic of inference underlies both. It addresses topics such as interpretation and inference, comparative case studies, constructing causal theories, dependent and explanatory variables, the limits of random selection, selection bias, and errors in measurement. This stimulating book discusses issues related to framing research questions, measuring the accuracy of data and uncertainty of empirical inferences, discovering causal effects, and getting the most out of qualitative research.
