Abstract:

Qualitative research, defined here in contrast to quantitative research as consisting of verbal as opposed to numerical statements or, more simply, of words as opposed to numbers, is an inextricable, necessary component of the social sciences. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, the bulk of existing knowledge in the social sciences has been generated through qualitative research and this form of research probably will continue to be the most commonly used path to knowledge. Yet a great part of the potential of qualitative research is not realized because the methodological foundation of this r

Abstract:

The main point of this essay is straightforward: The distinction between quantitative and qualitative research, when applied to empirical political analysis, is exaggerated and largely artificial. In fact, most political scientists can happily perform valid and useful research without being concerned about where they stand on the quantitative-qualitative divide. Furthermore, qualitative characterizations are often easily converted into quantitative characterizations, and many qualitative characterizations are implicitly quantitative to begin with. Finally, qualitative characterizations of the

Abstract:

I have encountered what John Gerring aptly describes as a fear of “the specter of methodological perfectionism” in my students and colleagues. In my view this fear imputes to methodologists more optimism on the perfectibility of research methods and more pessimism on the contributions of imperfect methods than most of us actually hold, but like any phobia, this fear is sufficiently real in the minds of those who hold it that it deserves remediation

Abstract:

This article is the result of reflection that emerged while conducting qualitative field research on nationalism and exclusion in Portugal. The problem I confronted was when to stop interviewing. Stated more precisely, I was seeking an answer to the question of when one has collected enough empirical data to support or reject one’s hypotheses. This initial problem led me to a rather old discussion on the difference between natural and human sciences that has characterized German academic life for many years–in fact, since the early 19th century–producing some more heated phases of academic dis

Abstract:

Preparations for field research go well beyond the tasks of obtaining funding and purchasing a plane ticket. In order to maximize the benefits of one’s time abroad, a great deal of advance planning is necessary and should be carried out for at least six months prior to an extended trip. Given personal, professional, and diplomatic constraints, time in the field is finite and valuable, and there are several strategies that can be used to increase the likelihood of returning home with the desired data and insights, which were the objective of the journey in the first place.

Call it a bad equilibrium or a self-reinforcing cycle—APSR has clearly been stuck in one for many years when it comes to qualitative research in political science (with “qualitative” understood to include all branches of methodology associated with the qualitative tradition, broadly defined).

We regret that that has not happened, and we hope that this brief missive can be the beginning of a new and more successful effort.

Discussion regarding the introduction and expansion of data access and research transparency (DA-RT) standards in political science has aroused a lively debate (e.g. Büthe et al. 2015).

Abstract:

In the last decade, there has been a significant push for greater transparency in the social sciences. For example, epistemological and methodological debates have addressed the scope, meaning, and appropriateness of research transparency, and scholars have developed tools and practices to facilitate the process. One such approach is preregistration, the practice of recording a priori a study’s design and its plan of analysis in open and public repositories (Haven et al. 2020). While it is a standard practice in experimental social science, it has been a matter of contested debate in obs

Abstract:

Recent scholarship in political science attests to the rapid proliferation of approaches engaged in multi-method research (MMR), research that employs two or more methods selected from an array of qualitative, quantitative, and formal methods typically used in the social sciences. The general notion that different types of methods can be employed to advance or test a particular theory is not in itself new. Multi-method approaches have long been a feature of social science research, taken up usually out of necessity (e.g. Jick 1979). Where data conducive to one method was not available, scholar

The contributors to this symposium offer important reflections and insights on what research transparency can and should mean for political scientists.

Conducting research in authoritarian regimes, especially ones with politicized courts, bureaucracy, and academia, entails many risks not encountered in research in advanced democracies. These risks affect numerous aspects of research, both qualita-tive and quantitative, with important implications for research transparency. In this brief essay, I focus on the key risk of con-ducting research in established authoritarian regimes: namely, physical risks to one’s local informants and collaborators. Mini-mizing these risks will entail trading off ideal practices of trans-parency and replicability.

Abstract:

For scholars who study critical junctures and their legacies, the distinction between contingent and deterministic causal relationships is an abiding concern. Among the methodological challenges faced by this tradition of research, this distinction deserves central attention. To be clear about this contrast: for present purposes, contingent outcomes are understood as subject to chance. They are possible or even probable, yet uncertain. Expressions such as less likely, likely, and very likely can indicate contingency. By contrast, deterministic relationships lack these attributes.

Interviews provide a valuable source of evidence, but are of-ten neglected or mistrusted because of limited data access for other scholars or inadequate transparency in research produc-tion or analysis.

Multi-method research (MMR) has gained enthusiastic support among political scientists in recent years. Much of the impetus for MMR has been based on the seemingly intuitive logic of convergent triangulation: two tests are better than one, since a hypothesis that had survived a series of tests with different methods would be regarded as more valid than a hypothesis tested only a single method. In their seminal Design-ing Social Inquiry, King, Keohane, and Verba (1994) argue that combining qualitative and quantitative methods is useful because it increases the amount of data used to test a spec

Researching the governance role of sex worker rights organizations in North America has deepened my commitment to a broad conception of research transparency. Because buying or selling sex is typically criminalized, sex workers face a high risk of direct harms (e.g., violence) and indirect harms (e.g., deportation, barriers to healthcare). As such, an argument for research transparency in this case may appear misguided. Wouldn’t transparency increase the risk of harms against sex workers by “outing” them to police, immigration officials, service providers, and family members?

Abstract:

Political science arrived comparatively late to conversations regarding fieldwork safety. Professional fields such as journalism and humanitarian aid began providing practical training—including first aid and risk assessment strategies—to employees deployed to violence-affected, repressive, and unstable contexts starting in the 1990s (Lake and Parkinson 2017). Like their colleagues in other fields, academics often travel to remote places, examine contentious topics, and rely heavily on local buy-in for access and safety. Even as research in such sites has increased, many scholars r

Abstract:

Political scientists frequently study government policies—the tools that shape behaviors towards certain outcomes and allocate values in a society. Found in laws, administrative documents, court decrees, and the practices of government administrations, these tools are generally visible and available to the public. Therefore, one may assume that DA-RT—the APSA-sponsored initiative that requires scholars to reference the data they generate and provide other scholars with access to these data by depositing them in a “trusted digital repository”—will not impede public

Abstract:

What does it mean to engage in ethical research on international policy implementation? International policy implementation describes processes such as international aid, peacekeeping, nuclear non-proliferation policies, and other foreign policy efforts that aim to affect the behavior of states and peoples, all of which have varying degrees of power. Research on international policy implementation implicitly or explicitly studies these power dynamics but rarely aims directly to influence them. In this paper, I will argue that ethical research on international policy implementation requires a f

Abstract:

The Perestroikan movement in political science has never sought to have a unified program or agenda or any formal organizational existence. It has instead provided venues—public letters, conference panels and receptions, and especially a listserve—through which political scientists could air and debate their dissatisfactions with and their aspirations for the profession. Many concerns have surfaced, but the three most persistent have been calls for broader recognition of the contributions of non-quantitative methods, exhortations to pursue more substantively significant research topics, and ad

Abstract:

I very much appreciate the opportunity to respond to three thoughtful critiques of the methodology of my book, Economic Interdependence and War. Timothy McKeown, Sherry Zaks, and Erik Gartzke offer important and constructive comments on the mixed-methods approach I adopted in the book. Adopting the positive spirit found in the critiques, I will not attempt a blow-by-blow rebuttal of their arguments, but rather seek to show how some of their insights can be used to advance the book’s original intention—that of building a distinctive approach to mixed-methods research for the study o

Abstract:

A large methodological literature addresses the topic of case studies. But much of this work focuses on issues pertaining to data collection, including techniques of data retrieval (e.g., ethnography, interviews), coding, and recording. By contrast, John Gerring’s stimulating new book, Case Study Research: Principles and Practices, considers the logic of case study research design. Gerring seeks to explicate the meaning, purposes, and payoffs of the case study. Although the book focuses on practices as well as principles, it is not so much a “user’s guide” as a full-blown theory of the inner w
