The problem of establishing equivalence in order to compare the
same concepts of phenomena in different settings is common for
researchers in comparative politics. Despite the importance of the
problem there are few strategies to deal effectively with it. This
book tackles the issues involved and explores strategies to deal
with many of the problems of establishing equivalence. Each
contribution focuses on a theoretically relevant theme, such as:
tolerance; political values; religious orientations; gender roles;
voluntary associations; party organizations and party positions;
democratic regimes; and the mass media. Each chapter covers
different topics, methods, data and countries, making use of
previously unpublished empirical research to show the problems of
finding similar or identical indicators in realistic research
settings. The study reveals the potential for pragmatic solutions
to the problems of establishing equivalence. Many of the strategies
used in this volume show how the complicated search for equivalence
can unearth substantial addition information which can enhance the
quality and reliability of any research.
