“The book is very well written and credibly argued, containing perspectives on historical narrative approaches and political logic, while featuring up-to-date case studies of rigorous quality, making it particularly suitable for researchers and students in Political Science to draw on. … the book is highly practical … you will find a ‘step-by-step’ actionable guide waiting. Reading this book was a pleasure and an intellectual treat for me to follow … author’s footsteps.”(Lindan Tan, Applied Research in Quality of Life, Vol. 18 (5), 2023)
