The Art and Craft of Comparison

null
Book •
The Art and Craft of Comparison offers a unique approach to comparative research, integrating interpretive methods with comparative analysis.

The authors challenge traditional comparative politics, emphasizing an actor-centered perspective that considers the beliefs and actions of individuals within their contexts.

The book explores the concept of 'dilemmas' as a key tool for comparison, highlighting how similar challenges can arise in vastly different settings.

It also provides practical guidance and 'rules of thumb' for researchers navigating the complexities of interpretive comparative research.

The book's confessional tone and reliance on the authors' own research experiences make it relatable and engaging.
