Carnes, Matthew E., 'Using Multiple Methods to Understand Labor Law Development in Latin America', Continuity Despite Change: The Politics of Labor Regulation in Latin America (Redwood City, CA , 2014; online edn, Stanford Scholarship Online, 22 Jan. 2015), https://doi.org/10.11126/stanford/9780804789431.003.0002, accessed 25 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter describes the two-pronged methodological approach employed in the remainder of the book. First, it describes the original dataset assembled for the quantitative analysis – a comparative operationalization of 23 labor law features from 18 countries – and details the strengths and weaknesses implied in a quantitative research strategy. Next, it describes the qualitative, “analytic narrative” approach employed in the case studies. It discusses the selection criteria for choosing Chile, Peru, and Argentina as exemplary cases, and provides a preliminary comparison of their relative skill levels and labor organization throughout the twentieth century.
