本文探讨了过程追踪法与精英访谈数据收集技术之间的关系。过程追踪法已成为定性研究中越来越多地使用和引用的工具，随着亚历山大乔治和安德鲁班尼特的文本（2005年）的出版，社会科学中的案例研究和理论发展，这一趋势最近有所加速。这本书详细地概述和探讨了过程跟踪方法，突出了它在探索因果过程和分析复杂决策方面的优势。然而，虽然这本书提出了一个严格的和令人信服的帐户的过程跟踪方法及其至关重要的案例研究，价值的方法本身仍然有争议的一些季度，有方面的乔治和班尼特的治疗，需要进一步探讨。
This article explores the relationship between the method of process tracing and the data collection technique of elite interviewing. The process tracing method has become an increasingly used and cited tool in qualitative research, a trend that has recently accelerated with the publication of Alexander George and Andrew Bennett's text (2005), Case Studies and Theory Development in the Social Sciences. That book outlines and explores the process tracing method in detail, highlighting its advantages for exploring causal processes and analyzing complex decision-making. Yet while the book presents a rigorous and compelling account of the process tracing method and its critical importance to case study research, the value of the method itself remains contested in some quarters, and there are aspects of George and Bennett's treatment of it that require further exploration.
