Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and other set-theoretic
methods distinguish themselves from other approaches to the study
of social phenomena by using sets and the search for set relations.
In virtually all social science fields, statements about social
phenomena can be framed in terms of set relations, and using
set-theoretic methods to investigate these statements is therefore
highly valuable. This book guides readers through the basic
principles of set theory and then on to the applied practices of
QCA. It provides a thorough understanding of basic and advanced
issues in set-theoretic methods together with tricks of the trade,
software handling and exercises. Most arguments are introduced
using examples from existing research. The use of QCA is increasing
rapidly and the application of set-theory is both fruitful and
still widely misunderstood in current empirical comparative social
research. This book provides the comprehensive guide to these
methods for researchers across the social sciences.
