Tobia Ide (Georg Eckert Institute,
Germany) <ide@gei.de> is
organizing a training workshop on QCA at the First
International Environmental Peacebuilding Conference, to be
held at the University of California, Irvine from October 23
to 25 2019. This workshop would serve two main goals. First,
it will provide a brief introduction into the method of
QCA. In this context, the main principles and steps of a QCA
will be explained and illustrated with examples from
environmental security research. Second, scholars are invited
to bring their own project ideas and papers for discussion and
feedback by experienced QCA users.
Scholars with experience in using QCA to study the
relationship between the environment, conflict, and peace are
invited to contribute, for instance by presenting their own
research or by giving a brief introduction into a specific
aspect of QCA. If interested, please see
the call for participants
and contact Dr. Ide by February
8.
On October 8, an International Workshop on QCA, sponsored
by the ‘Top Global University Project’ and hosted by the
Center for Positive/Empirical Analysis of Political Economy
was held at Waseda University (Tokyo, Japan). Participants
from several Japanese universities and public agencies took
part in the workshop which was introduced by a keynote lecture
by Benoît Rihoux. More information is available at Waseda
University’s website in English and Japanese.
Our transition to using Zotero for the COMPASSS Article Bibliography is now complete. As of this morning, the bibliographies include 909 articles and 66 books.
The International QCA Paper Development Workshop 2018 has
