政策分析的创新比较方法旨在为政策分析的创新和具体比较方法的进一步发展和应用提供决定性的推动。为了应对这一挑战，本卷汇集了来自广泛的社会科学学科和政策领域的方法学家和专家。这项工作进一步发展了小n研究设计中系统比较案例分析的方法，重点放在政策导向的应用上。政策分析的创新比较方法显然是一项社会科学和政策驱动的努力；一方面，本书致力于进一步改进社会科学方法，但另一方面，这一努力也旨在为政策分析人士和政策界提供有用的、实用的工具。虽然相当多种方法和技术在本卷中被触及，其重点主要放在两种最近开发的研究方法/技术，使研究人员能够系统地比较有限数量的案例；定性比较分析（QCA）和模糊集（FS）。
Innovative Comparative Methods for Policy Analysis aims to provide a decisive push to the further development and application of innovative and specific comparative methods for the improvement of policy analysis. To take on this challenge, this volume brings together methodologists and specialists from a broad range of social scientific disciplines and policy fields. The work further develops methods for systematic comparative cases analysis in a small-N research design, with a key emphasis laid on policy-oriented applications. Innovative Comparative Methods for Policy Analysis is clearly both a social scientific and policy-driven endeavor; on the one hand, the book engages in an effort to further improve social scientific methods, but on the other hand this effort also intends to provide useful, applied tools for policy analysts and the policy community alike. Though quite a variety of methods and techniques are touched upon in this volume, its focus is mainly laid on two recently developed research methods/techniques which enable researchers to systematically compare a limited number of cases; Qualitative Comparative Analysis(QCA) and Fuzzy-Sets (FS).
