The contributions gathered in this volume serve as a practical work aid. An extensive introduction systematically introduces the steps of a hermeneutic case reconstruction research process. These steps are exemplified and discussed in the individual contributions. Among other things, the following questions are addressed: What is my research question? What is the subject of my investigation? What is the case? What constitutes the field of possible cases? What are the criteria for selecting cases? What structural levels are involved in the analysis? What types of data do I need? How do I move from case structure to structural generalization and typology? Students and anyone else working hermeneutically and case-reconstructively will receive support for conducting their own research. The content - From the research question onwards.
