This panel focuses on the role of comparison in comparative case study research. Small-N Comparison (and thus control) increases the researcher's leverage on the research question, but only moderately. Research design and case selection are therefore dependent on the kind of (causal) questions asked in qualitative analysis. If the goal is to develop complex explanations for specific puzzles, the role of comparison may be to control for broad background factors; if the goal is to explore a particular causal pattern, comparison may help to isolate this pattern. The panel focuses on this interaction of research questions and research design.
