What is the relationship between comparative and historical research and the use of secondary data sources?
What will be an ideal response?
Historical and comparative social science investigations use a variety of techniques that range from narrative histories having much in common with qualitative methods to analyses of secondary data that are in many respects like traditional survey research; most historical and comparative methods encourage causal reasoning. They require the researcher to consider systematically the causal mechanism, or historical sequences of events, by which earlier events influence later outcomes.
