Part of the Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book systematically investigates the past accomplishments and future agendas of contemporary comparative-historical analysis.
Its core essays explore three major issues: the accumulation of knowledge in the field over the past three decades, the analytic tools used to study temporal process and historical patterns, and the methodologies available for making inferences and for building theories.
The introductory and concluding essays situate the field as a whole by comparing it to alternative approaches within the social sciences.
Comparative Historical Analysis in the Social Sciences will serve as an invaluable resource for scholars in the field, and it will represent a challenge to many other social scientists - especially those who have raised skeptical concerns about comparative-historical analysis in the past.
