Synopsis: This series is designed to meet the needs of the growing cadre of scholars in comparative research. The emphasis is on cross-disciplinary studies, although works within the perspective of a single discipline are included. In its scope, the series includes books of theoretical and methodological interest, as well as studies that are based on empirical research. The books in the series are addressed to scholars in the various behavioral science disciplines, to graduate students, and to undergraduates in advanced standing. In its simplest sense, the term “comparative” refers to a method. It is appropriate, therefore, that the first book in the series deals with important issues in the methodology of comparative research. Scholars in a number of disciplines will find its poignant critique and perceptive suggestions of great interest and pertinent to their comparative endeavors.
