Primes¶
- Comparative Method
- Comparative Method is a family of research techniques characterized by (1) the systematic juxtaposition of multiple cases — societies, eras, organizations, phenomena — selected to permit inferences about what is common across the cases, what varies, and why, (2) a substitute-for-experiment logic in domains where controlled experimentation is impossible, such that case selection does the inferential work that randomization does in experimental science, (3) two classical designs (following Mill's methods of agreement and difference): most-similar design comparing cases that share most features and differ on the outcome of interest, and most-different design comparing cases that differ on most features but share the outcome, and (4) a characteristic set of failure modes (small-N inference limits, selection bias, unit-of-analysis problems) that mature practice addresses through explicit case-selection justification.
This sourceProgrammatic essay establishing comparative history as a methodological discipline distinct from narrative chronicle; argues comparison across cases is an epistemological requirement, not a heuristic — supports the Core Idea's framing of the comparative method's structure.
