Über Conceptualising Comparative Politics
Conceputalising Comparative Politics breaks new ground by emphasising the role of thoroughly thinking through concepts and deep familiarity with the case that inform the conceptual reflection. In this thought-provoking book, established academics as well as emerging scholars in the field collect (and invite) scholarship in the tradition of conceptual comparative politics. The book posits that concepts may be used comparatively as `lenses¿, `building blocks¿ and `scripts¿, and contributors show how these conceptual tools can be employed in original comparative research. Importantly, contributors do not simply use concepts in one of these three ways but they apply them with careful consideration of empirical variation. This book will challenge you to think of how to engage in conceptual comparative inquiry and how to use various methodologically sound techniques to understand and explain comparative politics.
