TL;DR: The two volumes edited by Benjamin Frankel (with their around 900 pages) provide almost everything that anyone might want to know about Realism as discussed by the authors, despite what many of its critics have been saying (especially since the end if the Cold War).
Abstract: NOD & Conversion - "Taken together, the two volumes edited by Benjamin Frankel (with their around 900 pages) provide almost everything that anyone might want to know about Realism."

Abstract: The authors present a response to an article in a prior issue by S. Ramoglou entitled "On the Misuse of Realism in the Study of Entrepreneurship" that itself was a comment on their own earlier article entitled"Epistemology, Opportunities, and Entrepreneurship: Comments on Venkataraman et al (2012) and Shane (2012)." They address Ramoglou's contention that they conflated a positivist position with critical realism, then consider problems arising from portraying opportunities as objective objects.

TL;DR: The discursive genre of ''new realism'' played a crucial role in this retreat from multiculturalism, and that had a dual effect for immigrant women as mentioned in this paper, since they were virtually ignored by both the integration and the emancipation policy, since the triumph of new realism they are in the centre of both policy lines.
Abstract: Within a short period of time, the Netherlands transformed itself from a relatively tolerant country to a nation that called for cultural assimilation, tough measures and neo-patriotism. The discursive genre of `new realism' played a crucial role in this retreat from multiculturalism, and that had a dual effect for immigrant women. Whereas formerly they were virtually ignored by both the integration and the emancipation policy, since the triumph of new realism they are in the centre of both policy lines and there is now more policy attention for their needs and interests. Yet in the public debate the culture card is drawn frequently and immigrant women are portrayed as either victims or accomplices of their oppressive cultures. Policy makers and practitioners in the field, however, succeeded in avoiding cultural stereotyping by developing cultural-sensitive measures, while naming them in culture-blind terms.

TL;DR: In this paper, Kemp and Holmwood argue that the search for regularities, when suitably conceived, provides the best alternative to experiment for the social sciences and suggest that regularities can be used as an alternative to experimental control.
Abstract: Stephen Kemp and John Holmwood, Realism, Regularity and Social Explanation, pp. 165–187.
This article explores the difficulties raised for social scientific investigation by the absence of experiment, critically reviewing realist responses to the problem such as those offered by Bhaskar, Collier and Sayer. It suggests that realist arguments for a shift from prediction to explanation, the use of abstraction, and reliance upon interpretive forms of investigation fail to demonstrate that these approaches compensate for the lack of experimental control. Instead, it is argued that the search for regularities, when suitably conceived, provides the best alternative to experiment for the social sciences.
