Conducting cross-national and cross-cultural surveys: papers from the 2005 meeting of the international workshop on Comparative Survey Design and Implementation (CSDI)

Abstract: "The papers in this volume stem from the third annual meeting of the InternationalWorkshop on Comparative Survey Design and Implementation (CSDI). Initiated in 2002, the Workshop developed out of cross-cultural symposia held at ZUMA throughout thenineteen nineties. One of CSDI's primary goals is to promote research intomethodological issues of particular and sometimes unique salience for cross-cultural andcross-national survey research. The seven papers are good illustrations of the broad spectrum of research fields in whichCSDI researchers are engaged. The volume begins and ends with two framework papers,the first discussing what makes cross-national research special, the last on where we beginto draw boundaries between entities to be compared in 'comparative' research. The fiveremaining papers discuss (in order of the volume): the rich information available from themultinational European Social Survey on data collection; socio-demographic measurementand comparability in the cross
