Title: Case-studies and experimental methods

Using two articles by Gerrring & McDermott (2007) and Seawright & Gerring (2008) this session will review a set of useful tools for case selection as well as the benefits of integrating criteria traditionally used in experimental work for all research design in social sciences; particularly case-study work.
