초록
실증적 인식론을 공유하는 계량적 분석과 사례연구방법 간의 논쟁은 오랫동안 지속되어왔으며, 이를 통해서 후자의 분석방법이 체계화되었다. 본 연구는 실증적 사례연구방법이 행정학의 영역에서 얼마나 적극적으로 이해되고 수용되고 있는가를 알아보기 위해 2001년 이후 한국행정학회보에 발표된 논문들을 연구목적, 인과관계와 설명, 일반화의 범위, 개념과 측정, 사례선택의 방법이라는 측면에서 살펴본다. 이 분석에 의하면 사례연구가 지극히 연역적 논리전개과정을 따르고, 이 때문에 이론적이며 개념적인 논의가 경험적 자료의 분석보다도 많은 지면을 차지한다. 아울러 정책적 처방이나 함의에 대한 논의가 차지하는 부분이 많아서 간접적으로 지나친 일반화를 지향하는 경우가 많다. 즉 사례 중심적 연구라기보다는 변수 중심적 연구이지만, 계량적 분석의 입장에서 권고되는 점들이 반영된다고 보기도 어렵다.
Abstract
The controversy between quantitative and qualitative researchers sharing the positivist epistemology has been longstanding, but contributed to systemize case study methods. To understand how well these advances are reflected in public administration research, this study analyzes articles in the Korean Public Administration Review beginning in 2001. These are analyzed in terms of research purpose, causal explanations, generalization, concepts and measurements, and case selection methods. The results show that they are mostly written deductively and more concerned with theoretical and conceptual discussion than with the empirical analysis of the cases. Another problem is overgeneralization including many policy implications. In sum, they could be regarded as variable-oriented studies rather than case-oriented studies. However, it is difficult to argue that they are following recommendations proposed by the quantitative camp.
