| Abstract [eng] |
This procedure involves measuring Boolean distances between the empirically observed and non-observed configurations to find most similar cases for each non-observed configuration that was assumed by TOSMANA in the derivation of minimal formula. Using all available knowledge about the observed cases, most plausible answers about their most similar “what if...?” alternatives are estimated by qualitative judgment. After identifying most plausible outcome for each non-observed configuration, the data set was supplemented with 37 fictional cases, with total number of cases increasing up to 66 , instancing 54 out of total 64 configurations of conditions. Two minimal formulas (one for positive and another for negative cases) were derived applying mvQCA to these sets, classified as ceteris paribus laws of the transformation of the communism into liberal democratic capitalism. Measuring these generalizations by some standard criteria of the lawlikeness, they qualify as laws, although final judgment may be postponed untill the construction of the complete theory of the postcommunist transformation using the procedure of the disciplined counterfactual speculation developed and applied in this paper for the first time in the research literature making use of the QCA techniques. |
