A "case study," I argue, is best defined as an intensive study of a single unit with an aim to generalize across a larger set of units. Case studies rely on the same sort of covariational evidence utilized in non-case study research. Thus, the case study method is correctly understood as a particular way of defining cases, not a way of ...

Robert Lane's in-depth study of 15 voters in Political Ideology (1962) is said to lack a cross-case dimension, since his cases "cannot be handled within a dataset format" (p. 35).

Summary. In Chapter Two, I argued that the case study approach to research is most usefully defined as an intensive study of a single unit or a small number of units (the cases), for the purpose of understanding a larger class of similar units (a population of cases). This was put forth as a minimal definition of the topic.
