Advances in Comparative-Historical Analysis

Comparative-historical analysis is quite prominent in political science and is present - though much more marginally - in history, economics, and anthropology. The last decade featured the emergence of a significant and growing literature concerning comparative-historical methods. The literature contained in this work offers methodological tools for causal and descriptive inference that go beyond the techniques currently available in mainstream statistical analysis. This book examines comparative-historical analysis within contemporary debates in political science and explores the latest theoretical and conceptual advances. The book seeks to identify the contributions that the new comparative-historical method (CHM) has made to political science and public administration. This compilation provides a thorough and integrated review of comparative-historical methods.
