Epistemology and Methodology of New-Type Case Study Research
The widespread application of case study research in Chinese public administration has been ac-companied by numerous doubts and critiques.Based on in-depth discussions among renowned Chinese schol-ars,this article conducts a multi-dimensional analysis of the crux of methodological misuse and research quali-ty control in case study research.From this starting point,it delves into the localized development path of new-type case study research,the methodological foundations of high-quality case study research,and the frontier directions for expanding case study research.The study finds that the misuse of case study methodology primar-ily stems from a lack of standardization;the key to high-quality case study research lies in achieving repeated integration of theory and observation,and strengthening the control of"entry"and"exit";China's localized new-type case study research paradigm should be problem-oriented and embody the connotation of"six dimen-sions";the innovative development of case study research relies on individual experiential and insightful com-plexity methodology,adaptation to different types of research questions,and cross-contextual and cross-disci-plinary integration.Chinese case study research should consciously undertake the mission of addressing the complexity challenges facing human society,achieve new breakthroughs in theoretical critique,conceptual in-novation,and practical guidance,and promote the modernization of the national governance system and gover-nance capacity.
