After the first part introduces the comparative analysis by placing it within its historical context, the second part thus sets out the requirements and methods for the generation of knowledge in the present-day context through study of three MOST projects whose approach is based on three international networks of researchers. The third part goes beyond the comparative approach typology to place it within a strategic vision which transcends any isolationist side effects by placing emphasis on three components: the transferability of public policies, a better grasp of cross-national phenomena and the mutual enrichment of the researchers, which could lead in some cases to reflection on forms of action. The conclusion is that the adoption of a comparative approach to target-oriented research can help narrow the gap between scientific findings and the agents of social transformations, whether elected
