Roel Rutten utilizes key insights from Critical Realism to rebalance QCA, which he argues has become too slanted toward large-N cross-case analysis and fuzzy sets, to the exclusion of case and substantive knowledge. While not everyone will agree with Rutten, all can learn from his challenges to current QCA practices.’ – Charles Ragin, University of California, Irvine, US Oct 2024 240 pp Hardback 978 1 83910 451 0 £95.00 / $135.00 eBook • Elgaronline Elgar Encyclopedia of Science and Technology Studies Edited by Ulrike Felt, University of Vienna, Austria and Alan Irwin, Copenhagen Business School and Aarhus University, Denmark ‘What is STS?
