This Major Work presents a comprehensively curated collection of key literature, organized into four thematic volumes: * Volume One includes papers on the ontological and epistemological foundations of qualitative research, before moving onto articles that compare qualitative with quantitative research, as well as statements that contrast the divergent strands within qualitative research. * Volume Two includes literature that exemplifies the tradition and techniques of cross-case comparisons. * Volume Three is devoted to the spectrum of approaches that focuses on within-case analysis in order to provide evidence for causal claims. The selected works shed light on the corresponding major concepts: causal mechanisms, congruence and process tracing. * Volume Four captures the spectrum of qualitative methods that highlights the importance of context and social constructions (meanings) and is most often summed up as interpretivism: ethnographic and practice approaches as well as discourse, frame and narrative analysis.

Joachim Blatter is Professor of Political Science at the University of Lucerne, Switzerland. He has published two text books on Qualitative Methods in Political Science in German language. The first one in 2007 in collaboration with Claudius Wagemann and Frank Janning; and the second one in 2016 together with Claudius Wagemann and Phil Langer. Together with Markus Haverland, he wrote "Designing Case Studies: Explanatory Approaches to Small-N Research" (Palgrave) in 2012; a textbook which appeared as paperback in a slightly modified version in 2014. In articles and presentations, he made further contributions to case study methods and to the conceptualization of democracy indices. Beside his methodological work, he has published widely on institution building in border and metropolitan regions, on Swiss-EU relations and on the historical and current transformations of governance, citizenship and democracy Markus Haverland is Professor of Political Science at the Department of Public Administration and Sociology, Erasmus University Rotterdam. He is also a Fellow at the Montesquieu Institute (The Hague) and the European Research Centre for Economic and Financial Governance. His interests include research design, in particular explanatory case study designs, EU policy-making and its effect on EU member states, comparative politics and public policy. He currently focuses on improving the rigor of causal case study designs and teaches (inter)national master classes on this topic. His substantive research deals with the impact of politicisation on EU policy-making, in particular concerning economic governance and financial regulation. Markus has published, among other outlets, in Journal of Common Market Studies, Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis, Journal of European Social Policy, Journal of European Public Policy, Journal of Public Policy, Public Administration, Public Administration Review, and West European Politics. Merlijn van Hulst is Associate Professor in the School of Politics and Public Administration at Tilburg University, the Netherlands. He focuses on the way public practitioners give meaning and specializes in interpretive research methods, such as ethnography, narrative analysis, framing analysis. He has published in a broad range of journals across the social sciences, amongst others on methods, the work of practitioners in urban neighborhoods, and the police
