VCSEwiki:Case study writing outline

Case study writing is intended to supplement knowledge base. http://vcsewiki.czp.cuni.cz/wiki/Case_study_development (improve)

Our goals:
In ISPoS summer school, we are going to include viewpoints by individual actors

Starting point
We have the issue to be demonstrated in its social dimension (brown coal mining).

Method

 * 1) We should visit the small parts of the region (HSK, Jezeří, Horní Jiřetín) with relevant stakeholders. We will be in contact with real people representing diverse perspectives and interests.
 * 2) Within discussions with real actors and using the interview outline appropriately we should specify the actor and his unique standpoint within the issue under consideration (brown coal mining).
 * 3) To extrapolate the experience and draw a more comprehensive picture of the issue, we need to reflect the most significant features of the actor's story.
 * 4) Based on these interviews -> we could draw case studies as if written by individual actors: situation seen from their specific point of view.

Writing process

 * 1) Fill in the interview outline, extract information, write (in the context of the case study)
 * 2) Amend existing case study (see Knowledge base) by these viewpoints.

Outcome: case study analysis
Now we have "central case" with its "satelites" - stories narrated by diverse actors. We should:
 * analyse relation of these viewpoints to the “objective” issue in the centre of attention.
 * Might accomplish also “reframing analysis”: application of different perspectives or viewpoints on statements by actors (see reframing method) -> should reveal their hidden assumptions.
