Nitel ve Nicel Yöntem Farkına Çoğulcu Yaklaşım: KKV-Sonrası Dönemde Nitel Yöntem ve Kazanımları

Bu makale, sosyal bilimlerde nitel ve nicel yöntem farkına çoğulcu yaklaşımı ve nitel yöntemin kazanımlarını tanıtır. King, Keohane ve Verba’nın (KKV) teşvik ettiği tekçi yaklaşım, olasılık ve istatistik kuramının nitel ve nicel yöntemin ortak çıkarımsal mantığı olduğunu savunur. KKV-sonrası dönemde çoğulcu yaklaşım, nitel yöntemin kendine özgü mantığı olan matematiksel mantık ve küme kuramıyla nicel yöntemden farklılaştığını öne sürer. Makale, bu yaklaşımla nitel yöntemin ‘nedenlerin çoğulluğu’ sorununa nasıl eğildiğini tipolojiler, tipolojik kuramlar ve karşılaştırmalı nitel analiz tekniği üzerinden açıklar. Çıkarım yapmada okuyuculara yol göstermesi amacıyla, bu analitik teknik ve araçların işlevlerini karşılaştırmalı siyaset alanından şu konulardaki çalışmalarla örneklendirerek özgün katkı sunar: kutuplaşma ve siyasi rejimler, dini milliyetçilik, demokrasiyi savunma, demokrasinin hayatta kalışı ve çöküşü, silahlı çatışmaya demokratik katılım

A Pluralist Approach to Qualitative and Quantitative Methodology Distinction: Qualitative Methodology and Its Achievements in the Post-KKV Era

This article presents the qualitative-quantitative distinction in social sciences and the achievements of qualitative methodology from a pluralist perspective. The monist approach -promoted by King, Keohane, and Verba (KKV)- claims probability and statistical theory to be the inferential logic unifying qualitative and quantitative methodology. In the post-KKV era, the pluralists claim mathematical logic and set theory to be the distinctive logic of qualitative methodology. Via typologies, typological theories and qualitative comparative analysis technique, this article explains how qualitative methodology deals with the issue of ‘plurality of causes’. In order to guide readers through causal inference in practice, it makes original contribution by exemplifying the functions of these analytical techniques and tools through studies in the field of comparative politics, specifically through the studies on polarization and political regimes, religious nationalism, defending democracy, survival and breakdown of democracies, and democratic participation in armed conflict
