Causal Case Study Methods: Foundations and Guidelines for Comparing, Matching, and Tracing

In their first book with the University of Michigan Press, Process-Tracing Methods: Foundations and Guidelines (2013), Derek Beach and Rasmus Brun Pedersen not only developed the underlying logic of process tracing but also provided a practical guide for employing this method in social science research. Now they do the same for additional causal case study methods, including small-n comparative and congruence methods as well as process tracing.
Causal case study methods have attained a level of maturity where it is no longer necessary to define methodological foundations and principles merely by how they differ from quantitative, variance-based methods. What social scientists want to know is how causal case study methods differ from each other with regard to their ontological and epistemological foundations, how to determine which method is most appropriate for a given research situation, and how to employ the selected method(s), step-by-step, from research design through analysis. In Causal Case Study Methods: Foundations and Guidelines for Comparing, Matching, and Tracing, Beach and Pedersen fill this need.
First, Beach and Pedersen provide a cohesive logical foundation for causal case study methods.
