Sintesi	Participatory multiple case study research integrates the structured logic of multiple case study design — examining two or more bounded cases to build analytic generalisations — with the collaborative ethics of participatory research, where community members or practitioners co-design the inquiry, co-collect data, and co-interpret findings. The approach combines Yin's replication logic across cases with the emancipatory and co-ownership principles that define participatory action research traditions.	Comparative multiple case study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded cases are studied in depth and then systematically compared to identify patterns, contrasts, and transferable findings. Rooted in Robert Yin's case study methodology and Robert Stake's multiple-case analysis framework, it combines the rich contextual insight of single-case work with the analytical leverage gained by examining how phenomena unfold similarly or differently across distinct settings.
