Which method/approach seeks to explain political outcomes by examining underlying economic, social, and political structures in an effort to understand the political outcomes in which the researcher is interested?

a. Case study method
b. Structural approach
c. Comparative method
d. Choice approach
e. Cross-regional approach

Question 2

The major strength of the most different approach is that

a. the findings would seem to apply to countries with very different values of the dependent variable.
b. it allows researchers to generalize from the findings to a wide range of countries.
c. the findings apply only to countries with roughly the same value of the dependent variable as those in the study.
d. it is the easiest method to generate a statistically significant number of cases.
e. it limits the chance that researchers will generalize from the findings to countries that are quite different from the ones examined in the study, which prevents them from drawing false conclusions.
