This article provides a review of the current uses of the comparative approach in the study the third sector in Quebec and in Canada. Drawing on her own research experience, the author discusses some of the conceptual and methodological challenges that result from using a comparative approach to study these phenomenons. The unique perspective used by Quebec researchers in that specific field of study is illustrated. Finally, the contribution of a greater recourse to comparative analyses between Quebec and Canada, and between Quebec and other Canadian provinces is explored in order to better understand their reciprocal realities and singularities, and in so doing, enrich their mutual understanding.
