          Abstract

          Este artigo pretende mostrar que estudos comparados devem ser orientados para a construção de inferências causais generalizantes, aptas a explicar formação, estabilidade e mudança em instituições políticas. Partindo de uma identificação de impasses na teoria institucional, o texto procura mostrar a maneira pela qual a noção de comparação como estratégia investigativa baseada em poucos casos, muitas variáveis, terminou por reduzir seu potencial para a construção de explicações generalizantes, limitando-a a um escopo de controle de hipóteses. Por fim, procuramos reforçar argumentos em favor da incorporação de intervalos e sequências temporais à análise comparada.

          Cet article a pour but de montrer que les études comparées doivent être orientées vers la construction d'inférences causales de généralisation, capables d'expliquer la formation, la stabilité et le changement dans les institutions politiques. En partant d'une identification d'impasses dans la théorie institutionnelle, le texte tente de démontrer la façon par laquelle la notion de comparaison en tant que stratégie investigatrice basée sur peu de cas, plusieurs variables réduit son potentiel de construction d'une explication de généralisation, en la limitant à un but de contrôle d'hypothèses. Pour conclure, nous tentons de renforcer les arguments en faveur de l'incorporation d'intervalles et de séquences temporelles à l'analyse comparée.

          Translated abstract

          The argument of this paper is that the vocation of comparative studies is the search for generalizing causal inferences able to explain the formation, stability and change in political institutions. Initially, we tried to identify dilemmas in the institutional theory, located in the fragility of interpretations on institutions formation, as well as for the understanding of the conditions under which institutions appear to be able to cause the effects attributed to them; in the second section, we seek to show how the notion of comparison as a research strategy based on few cases, many variables, eventually reduces the potential for the construction of generalizing explanations. Finally, we sought to strengthen arguments for the incorporation of temporal intervals and sequences for comparative analysis.
