What methodological “wars” methodological pluralism?

Abstract

The dust of Methodenstreit still not been settled, plus there is still no consensus on which methodology is most appropriate to investigate society and politics. This article stems from a discussion of research methodology and socio-political rules of thumb, the Ignacio Lago, Donatella della Porta and Rainer Bauböck, organized by Camil Ungureanu and the Department of Social and Political Sciences at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. From different perspectives and sometimes conflicting, the authors of this paper discuss the relationship between quantitative and qualitative research and the role of political theory in the investigation of the socio-political.
