摘　　要：社会科学中的混合分析方法发端于20世纪50年代,而比较政治学中的混合分析方法则发轫于80年代末、90年代初方法论发展的第三次浪潮。混合分析方法尽管在政治学研究中处于越来越显赫的地位,但是学术界对混合分析的内涵与外延、混合分析的应用价值和如何开展混合分析莫衷一是。嵌套分析是目前比较政治学中混合分析方法接受度最高的研究方法。它在内战、民主化、公共政策等领域被学者广泛使用并产生了优秀的研究成果。值得注意的是,嵌套分析还存在一些未被解决的缺陷,因而并不是万能的。研究方法的选择要以问题为导向,混合分析并不是适合所有的研究问题。Mixed methods in social science started in the 1950s and its rise in comparative politics began in the third wave of methodological development in late 1980s and early 1990s. Although mixed methods have become more and more prominent in the comparative political studies, people in the field have not reached consensus regarding its connotation and extension, the practical value and how to conduct it. As the most widely accepted mixed method, nested analysis has been used in the fields of civil war, democratization and public policy, etc, where we have seen some great research work. To note, nested analysis is not panacea due to its unsolved problems. The selection of research method should be based on the question under study and mixed method is not applicable to all research questions.
