Comparative analysis in political science: requiem or resurrection?

In: Political studies, Band 37, Heft Sep 89

Abstract

Comparative method in political science is currently going through a critical time, particularly after the failure of developmentalism, and of the classical paradigm of comparative government. This crisis stems from questioning universalism, mono-determinism and the compartmentalism between political science and history. New paradigms are conceived in order to overcome this.
