| Description | This paper deals with fundamental aspects of case study research and its primary aim is to show that the case study method is able to increase theoretical relevance of legal research. First, we explain what is a “case” and what are the possibilities of generalization beyond a single case. The core of the paper then focuses on the question of case selection in theoretically oriented case studies. The paper argues in favour the theory-driven techniques of case selection and describes five case selection techniques – a prototypical case, the most difficult case, a deviant case, the most similar cases and the most different cases. In order to illustrate the use of these techniques in practice we provide examples from law and politics research under each technique. |
