Innovative Comparative Methods for Policy Analysis aims to provide a
decisive push to the further development and application of innovative
and specific comparative methods for the improvement of policy
analysis. To take on this challenge, this volume brings together
methodologists and specialists from a broad range of social scientific
disciplines and policy fields. The work further develops methods for
systematic comparative cases analysis in a small-N research design,
with a key emphasis laid on policy-oriented applications. Innovative
Comparative Methods for Policy Analysis is clearly both a social
scientific and policy-driven endeavor; on the one hand, the book
engages in an effort to further improve social scientific methods, but
on the other hand this effort also intends to provide useful, applied
tools for policy analysts and the "policy community" alike. Though
quite a variety of methods and techniques are touched upon in this
volume, its focus is mainly laid on two recently developed research
methods/techniques which enable researchers to systematically compare
a limited number of cases; Qualitative Comparative Analysis(QCA) and
Fuzzy-Sets (FS).
