Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes the methodology and data sources used in producing this book. The study employed three levels of analysis: a macro-level of cross-country comparisons; a meso-level of studying the organisations and informal entities of civil society; and a micro-level of individual values, attitudes and activities related to civil society. We used four main methods of data collection and analysis: secondary data analysis (focusing on available public opinion surveys), an organisational survey of Armenian NGOs, case studies of activism campaigns and qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with civil society members. Our discussion of “Googling” as a method of creating a sampling frame for civil society organisations might be particularly relevant for scholars working in countries where there are no reliable lists from which to sample.
