Reflexive Methodology: New Vistas for Qualitative ResearchSAGE, 2017 M10 23 - 456 pages Praise for the Second Edition: Professor Sabine Troeger, Geography Institute - Library, University of Bonn The first edition established itself as a ground-breaking success, providing researchers with an invaluable guide to a central problem in research methodology - namely, how to put field research and interpretations in perspective, paying attention to the interpretive, political and rhetorical nature of empirical research.

This third edition of Reflexive Methodology provides further updates on new research, including neorealism, and illustrations and applications of reflexive methodology in formulating research strategies, that build on the acclaimed and successful previous editions |
