15. Procedures for periodizing history: determining eras in the histories of Britain, France, Germany and Italy

Author

Clubb, Jerome M., Scheuch, Erwin K., Hage, Jerald, Gargan, Edward T., Hannemann, Robert, Clubb, Jerome M., Scheuch, Erwin K., Hage, Jerald, Gargan, Edward T., and Hannemann, Robert

Abstract

Die Autoren entwickeln anhand konkreter Untersuchungen Vorschläge zum Problem der Periodisierung historischer Zeitabschnitte. Die theoretischen und methodischen Implikationen dieses Problems werden im Rahmen der Untersuchung des Wachstums der staatlichen Ausgaben für Erziehung, Gesundheit, Wohlfahrt und soziale Sicherung in den Ländern Großbritannien, Frankreich, Deutschland und Italien von 1870 bis 1965 dargestellt. Dieser Gegenstandsbereich wurde ausgewählt, weil sich an den Wandlungen in diesem Sektor auch die gesellschaftlichen Wandlungen ablesen lassen. Die Darstellung der Untersuchung umfaßt neben konkreten Ergebnissen die Analyse der methodischen und theoretischen Probleme, insbesondere die Behandlung der Daten und die alternativen Möglichkeiten der Periodisierung anhand einer Variable und mittels multipler Zeitläufe. Die Untersuchung ergibt, daß die traditionelle Chronologie nur in Einzelfällen zur Periodisierung ausreicht. (BG)
