ABSTRACT

As an important branch of political science, comparative politics enriches the choice of research methods of political science by introducing and drawing lessons from research methods of other disciplines. In modern society, scientific decision-making depends on obtaining complete information, getting scientific treatment, drawing up different plans and making appropriate choices. With the development of research methods, how to effectively identify and avoid selective bias in comparative politics has become the focus of scholars' attention. The construction of think tanks is a necessary measure for the further development of national economy, politics and culture. Government departments and the public all attach great importance to the construction of think tanks. By analyzing the causes and specific sources of selectivity deviation in the application of different research methods in comparative politics, this paper puts forward two different methods to solve selectivity deviation, which will provide a list of basic methods and tools for scholars' future comparative politics research, and ultimately promote the progress of discipline research methods and enhance the methodological awareness of scholars' comparative research.
