Welcome to IOU Digital Library

Provides a comprehensive overview of the methodology of comparative research, combining strengths of qualitative (case-oriented) and quantitative (variable-oriented) approaches. It introduces and explains in detail the techniques of Crisp-Set QCA (csQCA), Multi-Value QCA (mvQCA), and Fuzzy-Set QCA (fsQCA), offers guidance on research design (case and variable selection), and reviews applications across fields. The book is especially suitable for “small-N” or “intermediate-N” research, and serves as a key reference for social scientists conducting systematic cross-case comparison.
