In the field of comparative political science methods, there have been various developments in recent years that have so far been presented rather selectively and separately. There is particularly a lack of publications aimed at advanced practitioners in the field that provide application-oriented guidelines for specific types of analysis. These types of support are typically not achievable in comprehensive introductions by a few authors. This volume offers an exhaustive range of currently available methodological approaches to comparative social science, which have been expertly and application-oriented developed by the relevant authors in their respective fields.
