Book Description | This bright, engaging title provides a thorough and integrated review of comparative-historical methods. It sets out an intellectual history of comparative-historical analysis and presents the main methodological techniques employed by researchers, including: - comparative-historical analysis, - case-based methods, - comparative methods - data, case selection and theory. Matthew Lange has written a fresh, easy to follow introduction which showcases classic analyses, offers clear methodological examples and describes major methodological debates. It is a comprehensive, grounded book which understands the learning and research needs of students and researchers. |
Editorial Review | Matthew Lange's study is the first book-length overview of the different methods of doing comparative history, and it is particularly welcome for its insistence that there is no one way of doing comparative history and that eclecticism and the combination of different methodologies are things to be valued. -- Stephen A. Smith, University of Oxford A judicious and comprehensive treatment, written with great clarity. Dietrich Rueschemeyer Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Brown University, USA I recommend it enthusiastically to anyone who seeks to carry out or learn about comparative-historical analysis. James Mahoney Gordon Fulcher Professor in Decision-Making, Departments of Political Science and Sociology, Northwestern University |
