Constructing Social Research The Unity and Diversity of Method

Ideal for capstone courses in undergraduate social science, or as an invitation to social research, this innovative short text shows what is common across three major traditions: qualitative research on commonalities; comparative research on diversity; and quantitative research on relationships among variables. These three strategies provide a solid foundation for the study of all social phenomena, from the examination of the complexities of everyday life to the investigation of the power of transnational processes.Ragin, Charles C. is the author of 'Constructing Social Research The Unity and Diversity of Method', published 1994 under ISBN 9780803990210 and ISBN 0803990219.
