Comments
The aims of this course consist in making students familiar with the basic rules of doing comparative research and introducing the most influential approaches and salient topics in comparative social science. It will help students evaluate the methodological merits of sociological publications that use a comparative approach, and to design their own comparative research strategy. The course is divided into two parts: the first starts from the building blocks of how to formulate a research question and hypotheses, select appropriate units of analysis, discuss matters of conceptualization, operationalization and measurement, and the selection of appropriate methods and data. Given the increasing availability of cross-national surveys for sociological research, the second part of this course will focus on methods of data analysis for large-N comparative studies. At the end, students will be able to design and conduct a social scientific study, and to correctly interpret and understand quantitative sociological analysis. close
