The likeness underscores the point that quasi experiments and the counterfactual strategy share reliance on counterfactual suppositions. Conditional upon the null hypothesis being true, if the observed values discern enough from the expected values we can then reject the hypothesis that the difference between them is due to chance. Scribd is the world's largest social reading and publishing site. The same confusion seems to carry over today in the work of some specialists in comparative politics who take Mill as a principal methodological guide (e.g., Skocpol, Theda and Somers, Margaret, “The Uses of Comparative History in Macrosocial Inquiry,” Comparative Studies in Society and History 22 [April 1980], 174–97).CrossRefGoogle Scholar That said, I should also note that those who conduct large-N research often do refer to this assumption as the “ceteris paribus assumption” simply for convenience, and I will follow this usage here. 1992. Scholars in comparative politics and international relations routinely evaluate causal hypotheses by referring to counterfactual cases where a hypothesized causal factor is supposed to have been absent. 7 For example, Moore, Barrington, The Social Bases of Obedience and Revolt (London: Macmillan, 1978);Google ScholarEvera, Stephen Van, “The Cult of the Offensive and the Origins of the First World War,” International Security 9 (Summer 1984), 58–107.CrossRefGoogle Scholar Of course, historians can be quite careful about their counterfactual arguments.
