Description
Summary:Comparative international sociology is a cornerstone of sociology. "Large N" cross-national analyses are commonly published in leading sociology journals as well as in science and policy journals. The topics studied in macrosociological work and the methodologies employed to examine them vary considerably and have become increasingly diverse and rigorous. The four articles in this issue, all authored by sociology Ph.D. students, exemplify the substantive and methodological variation in the comparative international tradition, engaging core theoretical works and applying appropriate statistical modeling techniques.
