Synopsis

"In How to Compare Nations, Dogan and Pelassy have constructed a succinct and unconventional guide to the conduct of comparative analysis and the construction of social science theory. It should be required reading for all first-year graduate students; its use at the undergraduate level would be a sign of educational professionalism." - American Political Science Review

About this title

Synopsis:

The book discusses strategies of comparison and explores some new perspectives in comparative research. It does not deal with the methodological and technical issues, the exploration of which would have required another book. They focus instead on the general strategy of comparative research and do not make an inventory of all the accumulated knowledge on political parties, pressure groups, parliaments, bureaucracies, elites and so on. Rather their aim is to present a critical appraisal, a "state of the art". This 2nd edition has been completely revised with the addition of three new chapters on legitimacy, neocorporatism and worldwide statistical analysis.
