Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the development of comparative
political economy from its early and theoretically unarticulated attempts
to the higher precision of comparison achieved more recently.
Comparative political economy refers mostly to the comparison of

The main contributions to the field are described and critically analyzed
in light of different opinions. The final part poses some questions
regarding the future advancement of the discipline.
