Comparative Methodology: Theory and Practice in History: Vol 40 (Sage Studies in International Sociology) - Tapa dura

The book addresses the methodological problems raised by international comparative social science research. As research is increasingly conducted on a transnational basis, more scholars are faced with data rendered incompatible by differing cultural and disciplinary norms. In this volume a team of distinguished contributors from 10 countries on three continents addresses different aspects of the practice, past experience and future of comparative research. This volume has been specially prepared for the 1990 World Congress of Sociology.
