Inhalt: This course deals with a crucial aspect of political research. It provides insights about conducting coherent comparative analyses of political systems (or aspects of political systems). After introducing the basic ontological and epistemological principles of Comparative Politics in broader sense, the course is divided into three main parts. First, we will see in which sense a sound research design is necessary to reach meaningful comparisons and how a research design can be developed. Secondly, we will tackle the choice between different theoretical approaches to frame the analysis. Finally, a range of methodological strategies will be presented: in particular, we will try to understand which are more useful, based on goals and theoretical assumptions. The focus will be both on traditional approaches and more recent challenging proposals. Overall, the course stresses the relevance of the linkage between theories and methods in Comparative Politics, with references to the relevance of political research for politics.
