Abstract

As it is the case in the general field of social sciences, research in international relations have clearly differentiated qualitative and quantitative studies with the hierarchical superiority of the latter on the former is taken for granted with respect to scientific validity, generalizability, and the capacity to produce objective knowledge. This paper problematizes the aforementioned pre-acceptance and discusses the conditions required for qualitative methods to produce generalizable and objective and scientific knowledge through the case study method. The article shows that case study is not a mere method, but a critical part of research design beyond an in-depth examination of a single or a few events, regions or policy areas. This article initially describes qualitative case analysis, types of cases and case selection criteria by giving examples from articles written in English and Turkish language published in the field of international relations, based on the insights of the international literature on methods. Afterwards, the article discusses cross-case analysis and within-case analysis techniques to reveal how to conduct causal impact and causal process analysis if case studies are performed qualitatively.

Özet

Uluslararası ilişkiler alanındaki araştırmalarda, sosyal bilimler alanının genelinde olduğu gibi nicel ve nitel yöntemler netbir şekilde ayrılmakta, nicel yöntemlerin bilimsellik, genellenebilirlik ve objektif bilgi üretme konusunda nitel yöntemlerüzerinde hiyerarşik üstünlüğü yaygın olarak kabul görmektedir. Bu makale, anılan ön kabulü sorgulamakta, nitel yöntemleringenellenebilir ve objektif bilgi üretmesi için gerekli koşulları vaka analizi yöntemi üzerinden göstermektedir. Makale vakaanalizinin salt bir yöntem olmadığını, tek bir ya da birkaç olay, bölge ya da politika alanının derinlemesine incelenmesininötesinde araştırma dizaynının kritik bir parçası olduğunu göstermektedir. Makalede ilk önce nitel vaka analizi tanımlanmaktave vaka türleri ve vaka seçim kriterleri uluslararası yöntem literatüründen hareketle sonrasında da uluslararası ilişkiler alanındayayınlanmış İngilizce ve Türkçe makalelerden örnekler verilerek tanıtılmaktadır. Sonrasında ise makale vaka analizlerinin nitelolarak gerçekleştirilmesi durumunda nedensel etki ve nedensel süreç analizlerinin nasıl yapılacağı ortaya koymak için vakalararası analiz ve vaka-içi analiz tekniklerini tartışmaktadır.
