New method in social science - Jon-Arild Johannessen - Bog

Grand theories, medium theories or specific methods in social science lack something. They are all focused on empirical generalizations, or the new buzzword evidence based research. The point is that none of the theories or methods have taken into consideration how conceptual generalizations are build. In this book we show how to build theories, and how to use theories in your own research. Systemic thinking is used as a reference point in the developing of theories, and conceptual generalization is developed and analyzed. Conceptual generalization may also be used to generate papers and books from your own research.
