This title offers an exploration of case-focused methods as a means
of bridging the quantitative-qualitative divide and the key
methodological issues. This book challenges the divide between
qualitative and quantitative approaches that is now
institutionalized within social science. Rather than suggesting the
'mixing' of methods, "Challenging the Qualitative-Quantitative
Divide" provides a thorough interrogation of the arguments and
practices characteristic of both sides of the divide, focusing on
how well they address the common problems that all social research
faces, particularly as regards causal analysis. The authors
identify some fundamental weaknesses in both quantitative and
qualitative approaches, and explore whether case-focused analysis -
for instance, in the form of Qualitative Comparative Analysis,
Analytic Induction, Grounded Theorising, or Cluster Analysis - can
bridge the gap between the two sides.
