Acknowledgements

We are grateful to the doctoral students at the University of Exeter who contributed with their encouragement and ideas to the development of this book by taking part in a module on Research Design taught by Maggetti and Radaelli. Susan Banducci taught one edition of our module on Research Design with us and shaped our thinking about the issues discussed in the book. We thank her and hope there will be future opportunities to teach together again.

Some draft chapters were also piloted as compact module on Research Design at the University of Agder, Kristiansand, where Claudio Radaelli teaches on the PhD programme in Public Administration. Radaelli wishes to thank the Politics faculty at the University of Agder for providing an ideal environment for research and doctoral training. Fabrizio Gilardi wishes to thank Olivier Baumann, Katharina Fglister, Dominik Hangartner, and Fabio Wasserfallen for helpful comments on draft chapters and the University of Zurich for financial support. Martino Maggetti thanks Michael James for excellent copy-editing, Christian Ewert for invaluable research assistance and his students at the University of Zurich for engaging discussions and challenging remarks.
