“…3 This attitude has stifled the application of systematic comparative approaches in anthropology throughout the twentieth century (Murdock 1971). At the same time, it has spurred methodological developments to address specific criticisms raised (see discussions of the key issues in Burton and White [1987]; Ember and Ember [2009]). One such development is the production of standard samples of cases, drawn from the ethnographic record, specifically for systematic comparative analysis.…”

Increasingly, interdisciplinary research teams are coming together totry to establish regularities, over space and time, in the complexsystem that is the human phenomenon. Although vocabulary and toolshave changed, the questions that animate this research program bearstriking similarity to those pursued by nineteenth-centuryintellectuals in a quest to establish universal laws shaping humanaffairs. In fact, that very quest provided the impetus for theemergence of what would later become distinct disciplines in thesocial and historical sciences, including anthropology and sociology.Why, then, is this interdisciplinary research program often met withskepticism, or even outright resistance, within anthropology?In this chapter I provide a brief outline of developments in thehistory of anthropology leading to this state of affairs, in the hopeof alleviating misunderstanding between those who support theinterdisciplinary research program and those who oppose it. As apractical contribution toward this end, I then provide an overview ofkey established resources for systematic comparative approaches to thearchaeological record. I conclude by discussing challenges andopportunities in this area at the interface with recent developmentsin related archaeological practice.

“…These are very much the sort of scientific steps that are consistent with most international organizational studies. Although the project's principal coding tends to focus on societal characteristics that have limited organizational studies relevance (architectural styles, for example) and on societies that have little contact with modern organizations, the maps of ethnographic materials may provide the basis for organizational scholars to access material about societies of particular interest (Burton and White, 1987).…”

Cross cultural research has made a number of contributions to social thought and has a number of limitations that suggest directions for future work. Understanding the current state and potential future of the field requires understanding how the history of culture analysis has shaped what we as scholars do and what our audience hears. That sort of understanding influences the significance of establishing a Hofstede Chair in Cultural Diversity at Maastricht University as well as influencing the purposes for which the chair should be used.

“…9. Thus, de Munck and Korotayev tend to accept as the most effective treatment of Galton problem its treatment as a problem of "network autocorrelation" (see, e.g., Burton & White, 1987, p. 147, 1991, 1982Dow, Burton, White, & Reitz, 1984;. Note that within this approach, Galton's problem stops looking as a problem.…”

In this paper the authors review the tradition of quantitative cross-cultural research in Russia, starting with a review of the qualitative cross-cultural research tradition, both in the world in general and in Russia in particular. Afterwards, the authors discuss in more detail the origins of the Moscow School of quantitative cross-cultural research, as well as the main concrete results obtained by those belonging to it.
