| Process tracing (L7) | Examining the historical development and evolution of policies over time. It aims to understand how policies have been formulated, implemented, and changed in response to various factors and influences. By tracing policies, researchers can identify the underlying motivations, actors involved, decision-making processes, and the impact of policies on society. This approach helps in analyzing the effectiveness of policies, identifying patterns of policy change, and understanding the context in which policies are developed. |

| Varieties of comparative analysis (by who) | Pickvance 2001 |
| What are 4 varieties of comparative analysis? | 1. Individualising - (small number of cases in order to grasp the peculiarities of each case) 2. Universalising - (to establish that every instance of a phenomenon follows essentially the same rule) 3. Variation Finding - (to establish systematic differences between instances in intensity / characteristics) 4. Encompassing - (places different instances at various locations within the same system, on the way to explaining their characteristics as a function of their varying relationships to the system as a whole’) |
| Individualising Comparison (pickvance 2001) | 1. Individualising - (small number of cases in order to grasp the peculiarities of each case |
| Universalising comparison (pickvance 2001) | 2. Universalising - (to establish that every instance of a phenomenon follows essentially the same rule) |
| Variation finding comparison (pickvance 2001) | 3. Variation Finding - (to establish systematic differences between instances in intensity / characteristics) |
| Encompassing comparison (pickvance 2001) | 4. Encompassing - (places different instances at various locations within the same system, on the way to explaining their characteristics as a function of their varying relationships to the system as a whole’) seek to understand how a common causal factor influences the outcomes or patterns seen in diverse situations. |
