This edited volume is devoted to analysing transnational expertise, a topic that has received considerable attention in the social sciences and history, especially in research on transnational professional networks and associations, epistemic communities and groups of practitioners. Yet more knowledge about transnational expertise is needed, given the growing importance of expertise in an ever more complex world in which interdependencies between different types of actors and organisations are increasing and in which these actors often have to cooperate to address transnational issues. While studies regarding the above-mentioned concepts have generally involved empirical cases of expertise in the context of transnational governance since the end of the Cold War, transnational expertise actually played an important role long before 1990. Therefore, this volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach that includes perspectives from history, sociology and political science. With contributions by Ingvild Bode, Christian Henrich-Franke, Robert Kaiser, Christian Lahusen, Alexander Reinfeld, Lukas Schemper, Andrea Schneiker and Carola Maria Westermeier.
Das Lehrbuch richtet sich primär an Studierende in Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen und bietet in knapper aber systematischer Form eine fundierte Handreichung für die Planung und Durchführung qualitativer Experteninterviews in der Politikwissenschaft. Es vermittelt einen methodisch fundierten und anwendungs- bzw. problemorientierten Zugang zu dieser Form der eigenständigen qualitativen Datenerhebung. Wesentliche Schritte der Konzeption solcher Befragungen werden anhand praktischer Beispiele aus interviewgestützten Forschungsvorhaben veranschaulicht.
