- Title
Commentary Between 'Thick Description' and Large- N Studies: The Fragmentation of Comparative Research.
- Authors
Raadschelders, Jos C. N.
- Abstract
The article comments on comparative research from the perspective that it is fragmented and scholars no longer publish comprehensive studies. The evolution of the Comparative Administration Group, a U.S. organization created by Fred Riggs and Ferrel Heady, and the group's concepts related to understanding comparative government are mentioned. Riggs' prismatic society theory is noted.
