TL;DR: Case Study Research: Principles and Practices as mentioned in this paper provides a general understanding of the case study method as well as specific tools for its successful implementation, which are applicable in a variety of fields including anthropology, business and management, communications, economics, education, medicine, political science, psychology, social work, and sociology.

TL;DR: In this article, the case study method is defined as an intensive study of a single unit with an aim to generalize across a larger set of units, and it is argued that case studies rely on the same sort of covariational evidence utilized in non-case study research.

TL;DR: Seven case selection procedures are considered, each of which facilitates a different strategy for within-case analysis and discusses quantitative approaches that meet the goals of the approach, while still requiring information that can reasonably be gathered for a large number of cases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue for an approach to conceptualize and measure regimes such that meaningful comparisons can be made through time and across countries, and review some of the payoffs such an approach might bring to the study of democracy.
