A Critical Assessment of the Issue of a Macro-Paradigmatic Influence in Comparative Political Analysis

This paper assesses the usefulness of the macro-paradigmatic orientation in comparative political analysis. Accordingly, it synthesises the contributions of some of the leading scholars in this enterprise. In the process, it was argued that, at the macro-level, paradigms tend to generate opposition or promote ideological debate. This notwithstanding the areas in which, a paradigm of comparative analysis do exist, was identified with analytical precision. 20 References. Adapted from the source document.
