Methodological issues in contemporary sociology of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract

Contemporary sociological science is increasingly being characterized by a
positivist, therefore, the orientation on the empirical research of social problems.
If there is, however, about the Bosnian-Herzegovinian sociology, there
are many unexplored issues in the fi eld of empirical sociological research - and
the greater is the number of causes of it. Methodological problems, of course,
are one of the major manifestations of those causes- the problems in the area
of quantitative as well as those in the fi eld of qualitative sociological research.
Some of the other dimensions of the problem should not be ignored - the issue
of ethics in sociological research, the problem of a single database in the fi eld
of sociology, as well as the research in the fi eld of social sciences in general, and
the like. And all of that is analyzed in the context of this paper.
