Description

Book Synopsis
Offers a critique of the standard approach to social research - namely, assessing the relative importance of causal variables drawn from competing theories. This book proposes the use of set-theoretic methods to find a middle path between quantitative and qualitative research.

Trade Review
"Redesigning Social Inquiry is aimed at social scientists looking to escape the banality of everyday quantitative research, and here they'll find a sophisticated way out of all the by-the-numbers work. But this book also speaks to those of us who have a profound knowledge of cases and want to explore the implications of this understanding. With this rigorous yet accessible book, Charles Ragin has completed his mission to reorient social science." - Edwin Amenta, University of California, Irvine"
