The contributors to this book have worked in a variety of field locations and settings and have interviewed a wide array of informants, from government officials to members of rebel movements and victims of wartime violence, from lobbyists and corporate executives to workers and trade unionists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors encourage scholars from all subfields of political science to use interviews in their research, and they provide a set of lessons and tools for doing so. The book addresses how to construct a sample of interviewees; how to collect and report interview data; and how to address ethical considerations and the Institutional Review Board process. Other chapters discuss how to link interview-based evidence with causal claims; how to use proxy interviews or an interpreter to improve access; and how to structure interview questions. A useful appendix contains examples of consent documents, semistructured interview prompts, and interview protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"edited by Layna Mosley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43572896858294,"sku":"9780801467967","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780801467967.jpg?v=1712125776","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/interview-research-in-political-science-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
