Synopsis

To quote the ASRM series editors, 'This book has no peer in the field - it is unique in topic, orientation, and style... it is a natural fit for the ASRM series as it provides details on a specific approach to research; is relevant to a broad range of disciplines; can be used in teaching and practitioners; and is focused on an integrated approach to qualitative and quantitative research that is sorely missing in the field.'Ragin et al. are the leaders in this growing field of rigorous, comparative techniques. Ragin has published substantially (with other publishers!) in the area of QCA and fuzzy sets, but this would be the first text to detail MVQCA. This volume will complement our efforts to publish more on integrating qualitative and quantitative methods, as well as boost our holdings related to case-oriented and historical methods.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Charles C. Ragin spent most of his youth in Texas and the southeastern United States. He attended the University of Texas at Austin as an undergraduate and received his BA degree in 1972 at the age of 19. That same year he began graduate work in sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received his PhD in 1975. From 1975 until 2001, he lived in the Midwest, teaching first at Indiana University and then at Northwestern University. He headed west in 2001, where he spent just over a decade at University of Arizona-Tucson. In 2012, he joined the faculty at the University of California-Irvine, where he is currently the Chancellor′s Professor of Sociology. He is best known for developing a methodological alternative to conventional research methods, using formal set-theoretic techniques for comparative research. His many publications address broad issues in politics and society, with topics ranging from the causes of ethnic political mobilization to the shaping of the welfare state in advanced capitalist countries. He has written several books including Intersectional Inequality: Race, Class, Test Scores and Poverty (with Peer Fiss, 2017). Redesigning Social Inquiry: Fuzzy Sets and Beyond (2008) Fuzzy-Set Social Science (2000). His book The Comparative Method: Moving Beyond Qualitative and Quantitative Strategies (1987) won the 1989 Stein Rokkan Prize of the International Social Science Council of UNESCO. In 2014 he received the Paul F. Lazarsfeld Award of the American Sociological Association. He is married to Mary Driscoll, and they have two sons, Andrew and Daniel.
