Abstract

Case Studies and Causal Inference delivers a self-contained and balanced discussion of the case study method on the basis of an integrative, but clear-cut framework for small-n research. It deals with case studies that develop new hypotheses for hitherto unexplained phenomena, perform classic hypothesis testing, and address puzzles in order to refine existing hypotheses. The framework further covers small-n research concerned with a range of causal effects (correlations and set relations), causal mechanisms, and the integration of both in causal explanations. By applying the framework to all steps in the research process, Rohlfing demonstrates how it can contribute to the rigor of empirical case studies and the advancement of social science theory. On the methodological side, the integrative perspective forms the basis for improving the case study method in multiple directions. Throughout the book, arguments are illustrated with numerous empirical examples from political science, public administration, and sociology.

Abstract

"Racism is a common occurrence for members of marginalized groups around the world. Getting Respect illuminates their experiences by comparing three countries with enduring group boundaries: the United States, Brazil and Israel. The authors delve into what kinds of stigmatizing or discriminatory incidents individuals encounter in each country, how they respond to these occurrences, and what they view as the best strategy--whether individually, collectively, through confrontation, or through self-improvement--for dealing with such events. This deeply collaborative and integrated study draws on more than four hundred in-depth interviews with middle- and working-class men and women residing in and around multiethnic cities--New York City, Rio de Janeiro, and Tel Aviv--to compare the discriminatory experiences of African Americans, black Brazilians, and Arab Palestinian citizens of Israel, as well as Israeli Ethiopian Jews and Mizrahi (Sephardic) Jews"-- dust jacket front flap.
