Sažetak
Qualitative dataThis concluding chapter reflects on the challenges of conducting ‘complex’ social science research using the experience of the MYPLACE project. It recognises the compromises to methodological conformism necessary for its successful implementation and seeks to elicit the ‘value added’ gained. It explores, specifically, whether: the case study based survey allowed a more nuanced understanding of difference ; the transnational comparison of qualitative data allowed conclusions to be drawn beyond the single case ; and the triangulation of data brought new insight beyond that offered by survey or qualitative data alone. It concludes that the value added of the MYPLACE project is heightened elucidation of the meaning young people attach to politics and activism and thus why they choose, or choose not, to participate politically and civically.
