Резюме	Comparative multiple case study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded cases are studied in depth and then systematically compared to identify patterns, contrasts, and transferable findings. Rooted in Robert Yin's case study methodology and Robert Stake's multiple-case analysis framework, it combines the rich contextual insight of single-case work with the analytical leverage gained by examining how phenomena unfold similarly or differently across distinct settings.	Comparative case study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded cases are studied in depth and then systematically compared to identify similarities, differences, and patterns across contexts. Rooted in Yin's replication logic and Stake's multiple case framework, it is particularly suited to questions that ask how or why a phenomenon unfolds differently — or similarly — across distinct settings, populations, or time periods.
