This book seeks to narrow two gaps: first, between the widespread
use of case studies and their frequently 'loose' methodological
moorings; and second, between the scholarly community advancing
methodological frontiers in case study research and the users of
case studies in development policy and practice. It draws on the
contributors' collective experience at this nexus, but the
underlying issues are more broadly relevant to case study
researchers and practitioners in all fields. How does one prepare a
rigorous case study? When can causal inferences reasonably be drawn
from a single case? When and how can policy-makers reasonably
presume that a demonstrably successful intervention in one context
might generate similarly impressive outcomes elsewhere, or if
massively 'scaled up'? No matter their different starting points -
disciplinary base, epistemological orientation, sectoral
specialization, or practical concerns - readers will find issues of
significance for their own field, and others across the social
sciences. This title is also available Open Access.
