Assignment:
Developing a Research Proposal
Add a comparative dimension to your proposed study.
1. Think of possibilities for both qualitative and quantitative comparative research on your topic with the method you prefer. Will you conduct a variable-oriented or case-oriented study? Write a brief statement justifying the approach you choose.
2. Review the possible sources of data for your comparative project. Search the web and relevant government, historical and international organization sites or publications. Search the social science literature for similar studies and read about the data sources that they used.
3. Specify the hypotheses you will test or the causal sequences you will investigate. Describe what your cases will be (nations, regions, years, etc.). Explain how you will select cases. List the sources of your measures and describe the specific type of data you expect to obtain for each measure.
4. Review the list of potential problems in historical comparative research and discuss those that you believe will be most troublesome in your proposed investigation. Explain your reasoning.
Developing a Research Proposal
Add a mapping dimension to your proposed study.
1. For your research question, there is likely an opportunity to describe some phenomenon (e.g., crime rates) globally, nationally, or locally. Select the units of analysis you wish to describe (e.g., census areas, cities, states, or nations).
2. Review the possible sources of data for your project. Search the web and relevant government, historical and international organization sites or publications. Search the social science literature for similar studies and read about the data sources that they used.
