COMPASSS is a research group bringing together scholars and practitioners who share a common interest in theoretical, methodological and practical advancements in a systematic comparative case approach to research which stresses the use of a configurational logic, the existence of multiple causality and the importance of a careful construction of research populations.

This site is open to all, regardless of disciplinary affiliation. Indeed, one key goal of this site is to bring together researchers and practitioners from a broad range of disciplines (political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, law, history, social work, demography, marriage and family therapy, criminology, psychology, education science, etc...).

This site is updated on a regular basis, so do not hesitate to send some useful bits of information, links to other sites, etc... : they will be put on the site. If you operate a website and you have inserted a link to this one, please let us know.

Enjoy your visit!
