Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
For over twenty years Charles C. Ragin has been at the forefront of the development of innovative methods for social scientists. In Redesigning Social Inquiry, he continues his campaign to revitalize the field, challenging major aspects of the conventional template for social science research while offering a clear alternative.Redesigning Social Inquiry provides a substantive critique of the standard approach to social researchnamely, assessing the relative importance of causal variables drawn from competing theories. Instead, Ragin proposes the use of settheoretic methods to find a middle path between quantitative and qualitative research. Through a series of contrasts between fuzzyset analysis and conventional quantitative research, Ragin demonstrates the capacity for settheoretic methods to strengthen connections between qualitative researchers deep knowledge of their cases and quantitative researchers elaboration of crosscase patterns. Packed with useful examples, Redesigning Social Inquiry will be indispensable to experienced professionals and to budding scholars about to embark on their first project.
