Підсумок	Comparative document analysis is a qualitative research design that systematically examines two or more documents — or document sets — side by side to identify similarities, differences, patterns, and contradictions across contexts, institutions, time periods, or jurisdictions. Drawing on document analysis as a primary method, the comparative dimension adds analytical leverage by allowing the researcher to ask not just what a document says, but how and why it differs from comparable documents elsewhere.	Comparative Content Analysis applies a shared coding framework to texts, documents, or media artifacts drawn from two or more groups, contexts, time points, or nations in order to identify similarities, differences, and patterns across those units of comparison. By holding the analytical lens constant while varying the comparison unit, it reveals how meaning, framing, or discourse differs across the cases under study.
