For comparative analysis, the question is not only "what" to investigate but also "how." Analytical chapters in this volume explore methodological strategies for cross-regional comparison, intraregional comparison, and the application of rational choice; topical chapters offer new approaches to the study of women, state power, corporatism, and political culture. A concluding section examines the political significance of public opinion research. |
