Abstract

Case Study Strategies. The main challenge faced by case study researchers is how to make the most of a rich and varied body of evidence. One way of achieving this goal is to use a combination of analytical strategies. This paper presents three case study strategies - the periodization strategy, the process-oriented strategy, and the counterfactual strategy - discussing the methodological problems involved and suggesting ways of combining the strategies in order to produce high-quality case study research.
