Methodology in Comparative Studies: the relationship between metatheory, methodology, and method was examined. Following Dervin (2003:136-137) and Pickard (2007:xv-xvii), I proposed to consider methodology as the bridge between metatheory, the general higher-level assumptions (also referred to as paradigms or worldviews) that underlie researchers work, and method, the specific practical procedures they use in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. This chapter deals with methodology in the broad sense outlined there. Ragin (1987:165) put it this way: social science methodology does not concern mere technique; it concerns the relationship between thinking and researching. The key concern here is the impact of the organization of the investigation and the structure of the data analysis on how the investigator thinks about the subject.
