'Es gibt einige neue Versuche, die Kluft zwischen quantitativen und qualitativen Methoden in den Sozialwissenschaften zu überbrücken (vgl. auch Berg-Schlosser & Quenter 1996). Dieser Beitrag illustriert und testet einerseits ausschließlich einige dieser Methoden wie etwa Regressions-, Cluster- oder Diskriminanzanalyse und andererseits neuere Fall- und Diversität-orientierte Methoden wie QCA, MultiValue QCA (MVQCA) und Fuzzy-Set QCA (fs/ QCA). Dazu werden Daten genutzt, um Lipsets Theorie der sozio-ökonomischen 'Anforderungen' von Demokratie auf der Basis von 18 Fällen in Europa in der Zeit zwischen den Kriegen zu testen. Dadurch werden die spezifischen Stärken und Schwächen der jeweiligen Methoden gezeigt.' (Autorenreferat)... view less

'There are some new attempts to bridge the divide between quantitative and qualitative methods in the social sciences (see also Berg-Schlosser & Quenter 1996). This paper explicitly illustrates and tests some of these methods like regression, cluster, or discriminant analysis, on the one hand, and more recent case- and diversity-oriented methods like QCA, Multi-Value QCA (MVQCA), and Fuzzy-Set QCA (fs/ QCA) on the other. This is done by using data to test Lipset's theory of socio-economic 'requisites' of democracy on the basis of 18 cases in Europe in the interwar period. In this way, the specific strengths and weaknesses of the respective methods are demonstrated.' (author's abstract)... view less
