Abstract
We have unfolded our stories of the research experiences we have gained during a concrete empirical study of democratic network governance relating to EU-based labour market policy. Our aim was to enhance awareness and reflexivity in the research process in order to improve future full-scale studies of democratic network governance. In particular, we wanted to illustrate potentials and problems when applying a whole range of research techniques to a study of network governance. We have used expert reports, documentary interpretation, qualitative interviews, diaries, observation, focus groups interviews and quantitative social network analysis.
