Calls for submissions
Despite the growing awareness of globalization, the main bulk of empirical work in the social sciences remains within the frames of what Stein Rokkan termed national empiricism. Comparative Social Research aims at furthering the international orientation in the social sciences.
Aims and scope
Responding to a need for international orientation in the social sciences, each volume in this series is concentrated on a specific topic mostly of substantive but also of methodological character.
Typically chapters present two or more cases for comparison: be they nations, regions, organizations or social units at different points of time.
The volumes embrace a broad set of topics such as comparative studies of universities as institutions for production and diffusion of knowledge, family policies, regional cultures, and institutional aspects of work and wage formation.
This title is aligned with our fairer society goal
We are passionate about working with researchers globally to deliver a fairer, more inclusive society. This perhaps has never been more important than in today’s divided world.
