The Comparative Study

In 1980–81 the School of Social Science of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (N.J.) selected as its special research topic “The Comparative Study of Colonialism”. On the invitation of Professors Albert Hirschman and Clifford Geertz a number of scholars from various countries came together representing the disciplines of anthropology, economy, political science and history. Although each scholar was of course mainly occupied with his or her own research, a number of seminars and discussions were also organised where different ideas and approaches were exchanged. One of the conclusions was that further elaboration of this subject was not only interesting historically but was also relevant to the present day situation. Another conclusion was that especially the comparative study of India and Indonesia would be a most promising possibility within this field. The reasons for selecting this particular topic were both political and scientific. India and Indonesia are two of the most important countries in Asia, both politically and economically; they used to be the two most important colonies in Asia. The colonial impact was of long duration in both countries and both experienced the transformation from commercial capitalist exploitation to full colonialism. Even in pre-colonial times the histories of these two nations are in many ways comparable,As a result of these considerations Prof. Dharma Kumar (Delhi School of Economics) and Prof. H.L. Wesseling (Leiden University) decided to study the feasibility of a long term research project on the comparative study of India and Indonesia and implicating Indian, Indonesian, British and Dutch scholars.

Fem Numerical Simulation

Safety of secondary lining is of utmost importance to tunnel engineering quality as the main load-bearing structure and the last waterproof line of rock tunnel under type III. The comparative study of strain state results from FEM numerical simulation and on-site monitoring in Yunnan Tianxin Tunnel was conducted to obtain the stress regularity of tunnel lining. The results showed that except vault, the strain states of secondary lining obtained by numerical simulation and on-site monitoring were consistent. The strain value of on-site monitoring was approximately 60%~70% to the simulation value. And the strain value of right side was greater than the value of the corresponding location on the left side. It’s noticed that high strain were found in tunnel haunch and arch springing. Great attention should be paid to arch springing for the largest strain value. The strain monitoring value of vault (309.83με~327.23με) has been detected larger than simulation value (209.37με), which matches well the crack phenomenon of vault. Therefore it’s significant to focus on the long-term monitoring of vault. The defects of single on-site monitoring method such as poor predictability were made up effectively by comparative study. The results achieved can be recommended for similar projects.

The Comparative Study

In the past thirty years the comparative study of communism as conducted in the United States has rested on two conceptual pillars: Weber's theory of routinization and Spencer's notion of progress through industrialism. This article points out some of the limitations of these theories and then develops a more comprehensive framework for comparisons. One of the keys to the understanding of communist politics is the model of a “military society,” also formulated by Spencer but generally ignored by contemporary social science. In terms of this model, communism is presented as a militant geopolitical response to international inequalities, the initial logic of which has been undermined by technological developments in the period following World War II.

In his seminal Islam Observed: Religious Developments in Morocco and Indonesia from 1968, the American anthropologist Clifford Geertz (1926-2006) placed the comparative study of Muslim societies on the research agenda. In view of my knowledge on the history of Islam in Indonesia, it stroke me that the political dimension of religion did not take an important place in the book. This is the more remarkable because during Geertz’s fieldwork in Java in 1953-4 manifestations of political Islam regularly popped up, and Geertz did not only notice those, but also recorded them in his book The Religion of Java from 1960. In this paper I will go into the question of why Geertz did not give a more prominent place to political Islam in his analysis of Muslim cultures, and what concepts of both Islam and religion he used.

The chapter surveys the existing research in political science and other social science disciplines investigating the temporal dynamics of authoritarian regimes. The chapter’s primary focus is on the incremental changes occurring in autocracies between their emergence and collapse, which has received relatively little attention in the scholarly literature so far. The chapter looks, in particular, at the evolution of authoritarian regimes toward individual or collective rule; at the regime cycles, caused, for example, by authoritarian elections; and at succession crises associated with death or resignation of leaders. Furthermore, it addresses the question of whether authoritarian regimes are better able to implement long-term and future-oriented policies than democracies. The chapter identifies a number of gaps in the literature on authoritarian dynamics relevant to future research.

Cross National

This chapter examines the development of cross-national survey research in political science and the challenges that it brings. Cross-national surveys have proliferated across the globe and arguably now form one of the most important frontiers in the development of survey research in political science. Cross-national comparison allows researchers to investigate the importance of institutional and cultural contexts that shape public opinion and political behavior. The chapter traces the development of such instruments for the purposes of comparative analysis in political science, in the context of more general developments in polling and survey research. As an example, it focuses on the case of the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES), an international collaboration active since 1996, examining the development of the project and evaluating issues such as cross-cultural equivalence in questionnaire design, survey mode and response rates, and case selection.

The Comparative Study

The article is devoted to the comparative study of the linguocultural concept "love" in the English and Tatar languages. In this work, the linguoculturological concept "love" is compared in the Tatar and English languages on the example of lexicographical sources. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the fact that love is one of the most complicated and richly represented in the language of the phenomena of the emotional sphere, which began to attract the attention of linguists and linguoculturological in recent years. The comparison of different structural languages will reveal both similar sides, since this concept is universal for all languages; and distinctive features, which is explained by the different structure of the languages in question. This article examines the concept of "love" (MBT, love) in ways to transfer lexicographic interpretations of linguistic and cultural concepts in the dictionaries of the Tatar and English, namely in terms of their semantics, as well as conceptual and syntagmatic relations. The material of the article and the results of the study are of interest to scientists studying concepts in English and Tatar languages. The results can be used in the study of such disciplines as linguoculturology, linguistics, lexicography, etc.
