Research Design in European Studies - Research Design in European Studies
2012Co-Authors: Theofanis Exadaktylos, Claudio M. RadaelliAbstract:Informed by epistemological pluralism and state-of-the-art debate on Research Design in the social sciences, this volume combines conceptual elaboration with substantive Research puzzles. Research Design in European Studies investigates different notions of causality and relates them to methods and techniques. Designed for use either in a course on European Union politics or in preparing projects on Europeanization, the book offers an applied perspective on Research methods in specific areas of qualitative approaches to causality, as well as chapters introducing quantitative, critical realist, and discursive strategies. Substantively, the contributors tackle Research issues in the domains of compliance, EU external relations, foreign policy, health care, party politics and urban governance.

Research Design in European Studies: The Case of Europeanization
JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, 2009Co-Authors: Theofanis Exadaktylos, Claudio M. RadaelliAbstract:In this article, we contribute to the debate on Research Design and causal analysis in European integration studies by considering the sub-field of Europeanization. First, we examine the awareness of Research Design issues in the literature on Europeanization through a review of the debate on causality, concept formation and methods. Second, we analyse how much of the discussion of the trade-offs in causal analysis in mainstream political science has percolated into Europeanization studies. We therefore construct a sample of the Europeanization literature, comparing it to a control group of highly cited articles on European integration. This enables us to control if some patterns are specific to the Europeanization literature or reflect a more general trend in European integration. We then look at trade-offs in the Europeanization sample and in the control group. Our findings indicate that awareness of Research Design is still low. Europeanization articles differ from the control group in the focus on mechanisms (rather than variables) and the qualitative aspects of time in politics. Complex notions of causality prevail in Europeanization but not in the control group and the cause-of-effects approach is preferred to effects-of-causes in the control group but not in Europeanization – in both cases, however, the difference is slight. We conclude by explaining differences and similarities and make proposals for future Research.

Research Design in the Study of the European Neighbourhood Policy
The Revised European Neighbourhood Policy, 2016Co-Authors: Theofanis Exadaktylos, Kennet LynggaardAbstract:This chapter deals with the pitfalls and pathways of Research Design aimed at the study of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and maps out the literature on questions of knowledge ambition, Research ontology and epistemology, and choices of approaches to the Research object. We include a review of traditional Research Designs in ENP Research, through a systematic meta-analysis of a selection of the most-cited articles on the ENP. Inspired by earlier work on awareness of Research Design in EU studies, ENP Research is categorised according to typical choices of Research Design in the form of dichotomous trade-offs. The chapter then discusses how individual contributions to this volume deal with Research Design challenges of the past and present innovative ways of studying the revised ENP.

Equity and Research Design
2010Co-Authors: Susan GrieshaberAbstract:This chapter recognizes that Research is a cultural invention and explains why. It discusses what equity, Research and Research Design mean, and suggests that the concept of equity is enriched considerably when ideas from Indigenous, critical and politically committed Research traditions are involved in Research Design. When Research Design and the processes of Research are guided by principles of equity, several issues warrant investigation. These include power relations, deficit models of Research, homogeneity and reflexivity. Research Design that is informed by principles of equity is explicit in its political purpose of seeking socially just outcomes for the short and long term.

Equity Issues in Research Design
2001Co-Authors: Susan GrieshaberAbstract:This chapter considers the idea of Research as a cultural invention; discusses what equity, Research and Research Design mean, and reviews several issues that need to be taken into account if the Research process is to be guided by principles of equity.
