Some in the social sciences argue that the same logic applies to both qualitative and quantitative methods. In "A Tale of Two Cultures", Gary Goertz and James Mahoney demonstrate that these two paradigms constitute different cultures, each internally coherent yet marked by contrasting norms, practices, and toolkits. They identify and discuss major differences between these two traditions that touch nearly every aspect of social science research, including design, goals, causal effects and models, concepts and measurement, data analysis, and case selection. Although focused on the differences between qualitative and quantitative research, Goertz and Mahoney also seek to promote toleration, exchange, and learning by enabling scholars to think beyond their own culture and see an alternative scientific worldview. This book is written in an easily accessible style and features a host of real-world examples to illustrate methodological points.
Gary Goertz is professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame. His books include Social Science Concepts: A User's Guide (Princeton).
James Mahoney is the Fitzgerald Professor of Economic History and professor of political science and sociology at Northwestern University. His books include Colonialism and Postcolonial Development: Spanish America in Comparative Perspective.

幾乎被欽定成KKV的補充版本。4-6和第9章重新比較瞭兩種方法,較KKV 更為細緻,7-8則簡明(但不足)介紹瞭process tracing(這分量還得不上David Collier的paper),14講瞭case selection,其餘章節則涉及到一些設計和重要概念比方說counterfactual, path dependence and critical juncture。。。磨刀不誤砍柴工,就這麼反復讀吧,希望能早日擺脫方法論要不然柴都要被砍光瞭
评分早些讀會少走很多彎路。語言、統計、邏輯,不管是否以學術為生,都該是不那麼陌生的技能。數學語言,也還是要知道的。
评分方法論入門書 對qua和quan各方麵進行超級細緻的比較。對KKV的補充
评分Mahoney說本以為承認quant的好處,錶明quant跟qual可以共存可以讓qual的方法更能被接受,結果發現人們還是甚至於更加攻擊qual。所以下一本書不打算這麼做瞭????
评分難得有人這麼全麵的比較qua和quan。
