Abstract
Non-participative observation, a data-gathering tool where the researcher assumes the role of observer while minimising participation, has a relatively low profile in empirical political research. This article begins with some introductory comments on the status of non-participative observation in political research. It then sets out the particular attributes of non-participative observation, focusing on the practical application and utilisation of non-participative observation in empirical political research. I show that non-participative observation can make a valuable, if particular, contribution as a data-gathering tool in empirical political research.
