The monograph addresses three methodological approaches – or ‘roads’ – to comparative research. The first one is centered on statistical analyses and on comparative descriptions of the obtained results. The second transforms a set of comparable data into a visual pattern with which a competent observer interacts. The third road opens up some surprising possibilities within the context of strictly incomparable data sets. The book contributes to an improved understanding of the complexities of the European project and to a widening of our current approaches in comparative research.

The article presents the traditional concept of citizenship through a discussion of the ‘conflict’ between the liberal and republican models. A possibility to resolve this ‘conflict’ by introducing a new concept of ‘post-modern’ citizenship is indicated. The analysis of comparative data reveals that in highly developed countries with longer democratic tradition more elements of post-modern citizenship can be identified. Authors propose a possible direction for modeling a ‘post-modern’ paradigm of citizenship based on the idea of multilevel citizenship.
