Textbook Resource
This page is currently under development. It aims at containing some additional “companion resources” to the textbook on Configurational Comparative Methods, such as files or more detailed explanations… They will be designed in such a way that they can be used ‘à la carte’ or in a more systematic way, both by instructors, users and students. If you want to suggest additional resources, please send a message to Damien Bol
