  • The case-orientedness of qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) : glass half-empty or half-full?
    Rihoux, Benoît, 1965- ; Lobe, Bojana
    This article addresses the development of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) from its launching in 1987 until present. We surveyed from the perspective of QCA's proclaimed "case-orientedness". We ... started by examining the foundations of QCA and the way those foundations have evolved over three decennia, in particular in terms of the connection with case-oriented work. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this was and is still an important facet of QCA both as an approach and as a set of techniques. Additionally, in more concrete terms, we go through all the practical QCA operations and demonstrate that virtually in every step of the QCA procedure; there is a potential dialogue with the individual cases, whether they are defined at the macro-, meso- or micro levels. Finally, we analyze the current state of affairs which seems to run against the articulation between "deep" (in particular ethnographic) case-oriented work and QCA, and propose avenues to engage more thoroughly in deeper case-informed QCA work.
