This book explores analytic induction, an approach to the analysis of crosscase evidence on qualitative outcomes that has deep roots in sociology. A popular research technique in the early decades of empirical sociology, analytic induction differs fundamentally as a method of social research from conventional variationbased approaches. In Analytic Induction for Social Research, Charles C. Ragin demonstrates that much is gained from systematizing analytic induction. The approach he introduces here offers a new template for conducting crosscase analysis and provides a new set of tools for answering common research questions that existing methods cannot address.
