In comparing the transcendental institutionalism approach and the realization-focused comparison approach you earlier explained why transcendental institutionalism is neither necessary nor sufficient to the realization-focused comparison approach. Does a realization-focused comparison approach lead necessarily to answer the question driving transcendental institutionalism? Explain your answer. [Hint: take a finite number of people, e.g. the number of students enrolled in a class, and imagine to order them starting from the shortest to the tallest. Now, suppose you do not have a ruler. Ask yourself how you would order the individuals from the shortest to the tallest. Now, ask yourself what could stop you from determining the tallest students in the class. Apply the same reasoning to the comparisons of different societies and you’ll find the answer you are looking for].
