Rezensionen

"This innovative book provides concrete procedures to bridge deep, case-based knowledge and QCA, thereby also combining the strengths of ethnographic research and systematic cross-case comparison. A must read for case-oriented researchers feeling the urge to 'go comparative'... and for comparativists feeling the urge to 'go back to cases'." - Benoît Rihoux, University of Louvain (Belgium) and COMPASSS international network (compasss.org)

"Through his detailed description of a research process, Markus Kröger impressively shows how to apply QCA in the field of political ethnography. The book should also be read by researchers who want to take advantage of QCA as a tool for comparative studies including a small number of cases." - Lasse Cronqvist, Senior Lecturer, University of Trier

"Markus Kröger convincingly demonstrates a key feature of QCA-that it is much more than a data analytic technique. It is inherently multi-method, as it incorporates case-level knowledge into the analysis of cross-case patterns, and vice versa. Kröger offers a practical, step-by-step guide to the interplay of methods integral to QCA, which researchers new to the approach and seasoned QCA users alike can learn from." - Charles Ragin, Chancellor's Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Irvine
