N2  - "Methods in Development Research draws together emerging best practice in combining quantitative and qualitative methods and approaches for development research. It presents innovation and reflection from the South and North and from within academia, donor agencies, government departments and civil society organisations." "Through a combination of case study and reflection, the book's contributors provide instruction and insight into the issues and challenges thrown up by methodological pluralism in development research. Beyond these technical concerns, the book situates combined methods within the broader, political process of development in an attempt to demonstrate that methods have the capacity to drive process and institutional change. By democratising research, development researchers and practitioners can help bridge the gap between macro and micro, economic and social, management and process, and between numerical and qualitative worlds." "This is an essential book for a wide range of professionals in international development, including policy analysts, practitioners, academics and postgraduate researchers."--Jacket
