Overview
Key facts
We merely believe that empirical comparison across contexts is beneficial in any political research irrespectively of whether you are interested in democracies or non-democracies; political elites or citizens; comparative government, political sociology, political communication, economics, or cultural studies; nation-states, empires or local politics; qualitative analysis, experiments or survey data; to mention just a few possibilities.
The PhD program in Political Science - Comparative Politics Track at Central European University (CEU) offers a particularly large choice in advanced empirical methods courses and often involves students in joint research with faculty members.
