"An immensely helpful practical guide to the case method."--Stephen Van Evera, Professor of Political Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"I teach qualitative methods. If I could only have one text in my classroom, this would be it."--Colin Elman, Executive Director, Consortium on Qualitative Research Methods, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Arizona State University

"The beauty of George and Bennett's approach is their careful integration of theory and method and their conviction that the pursuit of empirical knowledge is profoundly theory dependent."--Charles Ragin, Professor of Sociology, University of Arizona
"The more widely this book is read, the better future social science will be."--Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Affairs, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"This is the sort of book scholars--and not just graduate students--will want to come back to over and over again."--Marc Trachtenberg, Professor of Political Science, University of California at Los Angeles

Reviews:
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Research Resource
I'm a doctoral candidate and was "stuck" trying to figure out how to treat several historical case studies in my dissertation. This book got me going again as it clearly explains case study methodology. Although written from a political science perspective, it's not overly "poly-sci-ish" and is, mercifully, free of jargon. It would be useful for students working in history or sociology, and especially those pursuing an interdisciplinary approach, as well as political science students. I highly recommend this resource.
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute gem for every researcher!
My advisor recommended it to me and so I read it, first the individual chapters relating to my methodology and then the book in its entirety on my kindle. It's a must to keep for every researcher to understand the process of research itself.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good Reference Book for Case Study Research
Alexander George and Andrew Bennett's Case Studies and Theory Development in the Social Sciences is a very detailed analysis of case study methods that argues that case studies belong on the same footing as statistical methods and formal models when constructing political science research rather than the separation that currently exists. Having the different methods separate tends to ignore the benefits the individual methods can provide the researcher when conducting their research projects.The only thing that concerns me is the authors concern themselves with policy-relevant research. While many academics have that hope that their research will prove relevant to Presidents and Prime Ministers, there's certainly plenty of them who question whether policy makers would even read it.With that said, George and Bennett's book is a vital resource for the graduate student embarking on case study research. I mention specifically graduate students because the sometimes heavy and verbose language may make this sleeping medication for undergraduate insomniacs.Because of the depth and completeness the authors give the subject matter, this is not a book to be read once then hidden away in the back of the library, but something that should be put on the desk for reference during those stubborn research papers and dissertation work.
3.0 out of 5 stars Missing pages
Book material is solid and helpful but the publisher did not include 10 pages. It goes from p. 68 to 79 and it's not a misprint of page numbers. There's a whole subsection missing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Case Study Book
Excellent resource for research using case study. There are many articles written about CBPR but not enough on the case study approach to research.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Adding to the Library
One of the top to case study works that I have on the shelf.
5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
This is by far the best book on social science case study development!
4.0 out of 5 stars At its core this is an excellent analysis of social science research
At its core this is an excellent analysis of social science research. This is a well written, comprehensive treatment of the use of case studies. It includes very structured methods for conducting them. It should be required reading for all advanced students in the social sciences including those not intending to use this research method.
A must-read
Book in excellent condition. A must-read for every political science researcher!
Gran libro para mejorar en metodologías cuantitativas centradas en método del caso
Gran libro para mejorar en el área de estudios cualitativos basados en estudios del caso. Es el estándar para hacer investigación centrada en pocos casos. Muy recomendable y buena guía para investigadores que quieran implementar estudios del caso, no solo en ciencias sociales, pero también en otras áreas.
