Abstract
This article presents the major characteristics of the tradition of comparative political sociology which Stein Rokkan incarnated. Special emphasis is put on Rokkan's scientific reasoning based on the organic relationship between the creation of infrastructures for research and research efforts. Rokkan'soeuvreis marked by an acute awareness of the historical sources of institutional variation and by a concern for constructing region‐specific models reflecting culturally meaningful contexts. Rokkan's use of comparisons is treated at length before the conclusion states what the authors claim is worth preserving from the Rokkan tradition: thehistorical, institutionalandcomparativeaspects of Rokkan's approach.
