QCA resources
QCA (Qualitative Comparative Analysis) is a comparative case study method developed by Charles Ragin. I have educated myself into one of the leading QCA experts. In December 2024, I organized the European QCA conference (EQCA2024) in Tilburg. In 2024, I published my own QCA handbook with Edward Elgar.
In my approach, I present QCA as a thoroughly qualitative method and push back against the quantification of QCA. My qualitative take on QCA is evident in my methods papers and in my QCA tutorial.
