Comparative Politics: Rationality, Culture, and Structure is a revised
second edition of the volume that guided students and scholars through
the intellectual demands of comparative politics. Retaining a focus on
the field's research schools, it now pays parallel attention to the
pragmatics of causal research. Mark Lichbach begins with a review of
discovery, explanation and evidence and Alan Zuckerman argues for
explanations with social mechanisms. Ira Katznelson, writing on
structuralist analyses, Margaret Levi on rational choice theory, and
Marc Ross on culturalist analyses, assess developments in the field's
research schools. Subsequent chapters explore the relationship among
the paradigms and current research: the state, culturalist themes and
political economy, the international context of comparative politics,
contentious politics, multi-level analyses, nested voters, endogenous
institutions, welfare states, and ethnic politics. The volume offers a
rigorous and exciting assessment of the past decade of scholarship in
comparative politics.
