So I think your approach can shed light on Syria's history. Charles Tilly's book The Contentious French is an example of such an approach.

I'm writing on Syria and trying to compare the political history of the father-son regimes of the Assads, their similarity, difference and the politics of opposition in Syria...so my question is, is Comparative history an appropriate method to use when using comparison within a single case(Syria) across time and regime? What changed in Syria for the opposition to pose a serious threat to the regime? What explains the difference in the level of sustained opposition? Please advise if the CH is the correct method for the question I’m pursuing…<br />Thank you<br />Saba<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16045258413535792815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058766287077382431.post-46485971994034820382012-11-29T13:56:38.672-05:002012-11-29T13:56:38.672-05:00Little, Daniel.
