Abstract:
”This book is a must-read for so many people: it is an essential guide on how to do outstanding, transparent qualitative research; a critical reflection on the internal workings of the European Parliament; and a much-needed discussion of the role that gender, diversity and equality play in everyday (political) practices.” ---Ariadna Ripoll Servent, Professor for Politics of the European Union, Salzburg University, Austria “Guide to Qualitative Research in Parliaments provides a concise, hands-on guide to qualitative parliamentary research, including all stages of the research process. Contributing fascinating insights from a research project, rich examples and practical guidance, this is a must-read for scholars interested in qualitative research and a useful tool for students.” ---Josefina Erikson, Associate Professor in Political Science, Uppsala University, Sweden This open access book is a hands-on guide on doing qualitative research in parliaments, exploring achievements and drawbacks for all. From early-career scholars looking for an ‘in’ to start their research to senior academics interested in methodological details, the book offers a novel approach to discussing qualitative methodologies. It presents unique insights based on a large-scale qualitative study in the European Parliament using interview and ethnographic data. Comprehensive yet accessible, the book accounts the step-by-step process of qualitative research in parliaments, offering a reflexive and analytical perspective that moves beyond a textbook or theory-only format.
