The chapter discusses the possibilities and specifics of interpretive comparison. Comparisons based on interpretive case studies are fairly widespread while, at the same time, the methodology literature on how to conduct comparative studies in the social sciences has been largely dominated by approaches toward controlled comparison that are based on a positivist epistemology. This mismatch has constituted a challenge for scholars interested in conducting interpretive comparisons. Based on insights from an interpretive, cross-regional comparison of energy transformations in Indonesia and Brazil, the chapter argues that interpretive-comparative research requires a different approach to case selection, the formulation of research questions, as well as concerning writing style, structuring, and publishing of texts. Since area studies traditions resemble interpretive approaches, especially regarding context-sensitivity, CAS provides a fruitful context for elaborating further on the specifics and potentials of interpretive-comparative research.
