The use of ethnographic research - social research based on the
observation of individuals or institutions where the researcher
becomes part of the group or very close to the group to better
understand their actions - is becoming more and more of a prevalent
methodology within sociology. As ethnography gains prominence
within the discipline its focus, theoretical underpinnings and
narrative styles are also expanding to the yet-unexamined worlds
and institutions of society. Politics, political institutions, and
those working in politics (state officials, politicians and
activists) have so far missed the lens of the ethnographer. As a
group, politicians and those in politics can be found in every
corner of the world. While political systems and politicians are by
no means the same in every country, what brings these people
together to be part of the political process? Ethnography is
uniquely equipped to look microscopically at the foundations of
political institutions and their attendant sent of practices, just
as it is ideally suited to explain why political actors behave the
way they do and to identify the causes, processes and outcomes that
are part and parcel of political life. The volume, based on a
special issue of Qualitative Sociology has a two-fold purpose: to
bring politics into the ethnographic literature and of ethnography
in studies of politics. The case studies included are based on the
research of ethnographers studying the various level of politics in
Brazil, Japan, El Salvador, Bosnia, the Philippines, India and the
United States. It will be of interest to those in the sociology of
politics, political science and those looking for ethnographic
research on aglobal level.
