The method is based on that used by existing us research, allowing for comparison with that national context. The focus is on the institutional context, disciplinary influences, research methods, and locus of research in these national contexts. In conclusion, the paper finds that the various national communities studied are generally navigating a careful path between "a naïve, nationalist xenophobia" and a healthy "sociological reduction"
