| Popis: |
In the previous chapter we have presented an introductory discussion of the methodology of cross-national research, which gave some indication of the limits and objectives of the systematic comparative analysis of aggregate data describing countries. The discussion focused on the variety of competing and complementary formulations of empirical tests of generalizations about political life in countries. Although we emphasized the importance of theory as the basis of meaningful generalization and explanation in cross-national research, we gave little indication of the difficulty involved in constructing such theory. |
