涓婚锛歍he Power of Simple Questions
Often, the toughest question that researchers and students face when crafting a research project is: What should be my research question? It is promising to start by asking simple questions about “what” (meaning) and “how” (process). By first thoroughly addressing simple questions, this effort may then open up new and larger questions—as well as unexpected answers. I share my experience of developing two articles that started with simple questions. The discussion will be based on the following articles, which can be downloaded from the Internet: “Counting Cadres: A Comparative View of the Size of China's Public Employment” (China Quarterly, 2012) and “Authoritarian Restraints on Online Activism Revisited: Why I-Paid-A-Bribe Worked in India But Failed in China” (Comparative Politics, 2014).
