On April 2, I was invited to give an online methods masterclass for the members of the Evaluation and Statistics cadres of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office of the United Kingdom, speaking about “Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) for Foreign Policy Analysis”. The talk comprised a concise introduction to the method and approach of QCA, based on my 2021 book with Georgetown University Press. For the second part, the FCDO members asked me to speak about my applied QCA study on the Unintended Consequences of UN Sanctions, an open-access article that was co-authored with Katharina Meissner (replication data for this article is available here: https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9BGOYQ). Many thanks to Harry Achillini for the invitation and organization–and to all participants for the intriguing questions during the Q&A!
