The paper addresses the question whether national decision-making has become increasingly interdependent in recent decades, and what role “world models” play in any such trend. These questions are scrutinised by utilising the “Historic Hansard” corpus, which contains all records of the UK Parliament from 1803 to 2005, complemented by other corpora. The results show that references to other countries were most frequent in parliamentary debates very early in the 19th century. However, allusions to other countries have evolved from referencing case examples to referencing policies that are constructed and branded as models. The idea of transferable models caught on particularly strongly from the 1950s onward. The other corpora used for the study confirmed that these changes reflect a global trend. Hence, the post-war era has witnessed a worldwide spread of the idea of model as a precondition for a global proliferation of named models., Cet article s’interroge sur l’interdépendance croissante du processus décisionnel national au cours des dernières décennies et sur le rôle joué par les « modèles mondiaux » dans une telle tendance. Ces questions sont examinées à l’aide du corpus « Historic Hansard », qui contient tous les documents du Parlement britannique de 1803 à 2005, complétés par d’autres corpus. Les résultats montrent que les références aux autres pays ont été les plus fréquentes dans les débats parlementaires au tout début du xixe siècle. Cependant, ces allusions changent progressivement de nature : là où elles renvoyaient initialement le plus souvent à des exemples singuliers, elles renvoient désormais à des politiques construites et étiquetées comme modèles. L’idée de modèles transférables de pays à pays s’est particulièrement développée à partir des années 1950. Les autres corpus utilisés dans l’étude confirment que ces changements reflètent une tendance globale. L’après-guerre a été témoin d’une diffusion mondiale de l’idée de modèle comme condition préalable à la dissémination mondiale de modèles désormais nommés., Dieser Aufsatz hinterfragt sowohl die zunehmende Verflechtung nationaler Entscheidungsprozesse während der letzten Jahrzehnte als auch den Einfluss von ,,Welt-Modellen“ bei solchen Trends. Untersucht werden diese Fragen anhand der Sammlung « Historic Hansard », die alle Dokumente des britischen Parlaments zwischen 1803 und 2005 enthält, jeweils ergänzt durch andere Sammlungen. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass in parlamentarischen Debatten am häufigsten zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts auf andere Länder verwiesen wurde. Diese Hinweise veränderten sich jedoch nach und nach in ihrer Art: hatten sie ursprünglich Beispielcharakter, wurden sie schließlich zu politischen Referenzen mit Modellcharakter. Ab 1950 fand die Vorstellung von übertragbaren Modellen besonderen Anklang. Die anderen, herangezogenen Sammlungen bestätigen, dass es sich um allgemeine Tendenzen handelt. Die Nachkriegszeit wurde zum Zeugen einer weltweiten Verbreitung der Modellidee als Voraussetzung für eine globale Vermehrung jener nun benannten Modelle.

The SAGE Handbook of Social Research Methods is a must for every social-science researcher. It charts the new and evolving terrain of social research methodology, covering qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods in one volume. The Handbook includes chapters on each phase of the research process: research design, methods of data collection, and the processes of analyzing and interpreting data. The volume maintains that there is much more to research than learning skills and techniques; methodology involves the fit between theory, research questions research design and analysis. The book also includes several chapters that describe historical and current directions in social research, debating crucial subjects such as qualitative versus quantitative paradigms, how to judge the credibility of types of research, and the increasingly topical issue of research ethics. The Handbook serves as an invaluable resource for approaching research with an open mind. This volume maps the field of social research methods using an approach that will prove valuable for both students and researchers.

The chapter reviews three different approaches to biographical methods, the biographical interpretive method, oral history and narrative analysis. Each is outlined in turn, looking at distinguishing characteristics. Each makes use of the interview to generate data and while each has unique strengths, the chapter concludes with a commitment to an oral history approach with its focus on the dynamics of the interview.
