Synopsis
Written by a prominent figure in the field, this book provides an accessible introduction to comparative methodology. Drawing on a wide range of approaches throughout, it is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand or research in this major area of political science., All good research is dependent upon good research design, but comparative research - and especially research in comparative politics - is more dependent than most. Some initial choices in the research design will determine the utility and validity of the research, so the logic of making those choices must be understood thoroughly. In this clear, accessible but sophisticated text, Guy Peters highlights the many decisions that must be made about research, including the number of cases, the similarity of cases, and the types of analytical techniques that should be used. He highlights the importance of theory in social research, and shows how a wide range of case-based and statistical research can produce useful findings, provided that the methods chosen are appropriate to the subject and objectives of the enquiry. A central focus is on the logic of research and understanding potential sources of error in order to maximize the reliability and validity of findings. Drawing on a wide range of approaches to comparative research, this substantially revised and updated successor to the author's classic text Comparative Politics is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand or conduct research in this major area of political science.

    Good price for the book. Shipping was slow. Messaged the seller a week after I ordered it to see when they were going to ship it. They responded immediately and said it would be shipped out soon. Got it about a week later. Book did arrive in the date range that they provided though  Minimal packaging. Book is Shrink wrapped and only wrapped in thin plastic. No bubble wrap. Book is in good shape though.

    The book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.
