Summary:

This case study provides a practical account of observational research and interviewing to trace informal remittance systems in Indonesia. It includes carrying out fieldwork in an area of civil conflict and details the research design and methodology used to build knowledge of underground banking, a social phenomenon that researchers once felt was too difficult to study. Despite challenges faced in the field, the findings provide insight that complements quantitative analysis. Such qualitative research addresses the criticism that quantitative data collection and analysis reduce the narrative of a social phenomenon into numbers.
