Research designs can be distinguished along various dimensions, but
all face the same set of core issues. What is a relevant research
problem? How can the concepts and measurements be improved? Which
and how many variables and cases should be selected? What
theoretical conclusions can be drawn from the research? Which
evidence would lead to a rejection and reformulation of the initial
theory?
This volume was written to help advanced students of political
science and neighbouring fields to think about these issues and
develop practical solutions for their own research. The distinction
between qualitative and quantitative research can often be
inadequate. Some solutions to research design problems are common
to both types of research; others cross-cut the traditional
qualitative-quantitative divide. Including a chapter on choosing a
research question, this book provides practical guidelines for both
qualitative and quantitative designs, discussing the typical
trade-offs involved in choosing them, and is rich in examples from
real research.
