Question

How is the role of ordinary individuals described in the above case studies?

Answer 1

In development, there is a tendency to seek out and write-up case studies. These show what has, or has not, worked in a specific context. A case study is value-neutral. It can be defined as:
An empirical inquiry that investigates a contemporary phenomenon within its real-life context; when the boundaries between phenomenon and context are not clearly evident; and in which multiple sources of evidence are used
There are different types of case studies found in the literature. On one hand, they are considered useful in research as they enable researchers to examine data at the micro level. As an alternative to quantitative or qualitative research, case studies can be a practical solution when a big sample population is difficult to obtain. On the other, they are also criticised for their inability to generalise their results.
