Leading anthropologists and political scientists are brought
together in this volume to debate the problem of comparison, taking
up a variety of topics from nationalist violence and labour strikes
to ritual forms and religious practices. The contributors criticise
conventional forms of comparative method, and introduce new
comparative strategies, ranging from abstract model building to
ethnographically based methods. They represent a wide variety of
theoretical positions, from rational choice theory to
interpretivism, and the issues are clarified in the cut and thrust
of debate. This will be an excellent case book for courses on
comparison across the social sciences.
