Sommario/riassunto

The textbook is primarily aimed at students and younger researchers and offers a concise but systematic practical guide to planning and conducting qualitative expert interviews in political science. It provides a methodologically sound and application- or problem-oriented approach to this form of independent qualitative data collection. The English translation of this book, originally in German, was facilitated by artificial intelligence. The content was later revised by the author for accuracy and adapted to an international readership. The Author Dr. Robert Kaiser is Professor of Comparative Politics and Political Theory



at the University of Siegen (Germany). .
