Literature Review on Ethnographic Research

In the Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy, [1] Merlijn van Hulst, Martijn Koster and Jeroen Vermeulen provide the following summary about the topic of Ethnographic Research: This entry outlines three aspects of ethnographic research. First, we describe in what way ethnographic research implies a distinct way of knowing. Second, we discuss the use of qualitative methods in ethnographic research. Third, we take up the role of writing, which is both a way of documenting research as well as an analytical tool in the research process. The entry concludes with a summary of the strengths and limitations of ethnographic research in public administration and policy studies.
