Sinopsis

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the origins, theories and methodologies of the growing field of comparative policy analysis (CPA). It explores the similarities and differences in national and international policy-making, addressing the impact of new research methods, globalised communication and economic trade.



Guillaume Fontaine and Iris Geva-May assess the range of research designs employed in CPA, drawing on examples from different policy areas and countries to investigate the main challenges of using multi-methods for comparison. Their analysis advances understanding of comparative analytical studies, overcoming the divide between quantitative and qualitative approaches. Chapters cover the epistemology and methodology of CPA, the methods associated with probabilistic frameworks, and those aligned with deterministic frameworks. The book ultimately connects research and practice to provide guidance on how best to study contemporary policy at the cross-national, national and sub-national level.



Comparative Policy Analysis is an essential resource for students and academics interested in public policy design, analysis and administration. It is also an important read for policy-makers seeking insight into evidence-based decision making.
