Using Qualitative Comparative Analysis to understand complex policy problems
This article shows how Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) can be used to understand what works to address complex policy problems at a local level, using the example of tackling high rates of teenage conceptions in England’s most deprived local authority areas. QCA is a promising method for providing evidence in situations where interventions interact with contexts, enabling causal pathways to be discerned from how sets of conditions combine …
Loft living-Bombay calling
The Observer of 7 December 2003 carried two stories that had resonance for Tynesiders. One--illustrated with a photo of three attractive but, for nightlife Newcastle, surprisingly fully-dressed young women, with only decolletage on show--asserted that Newcastle's loft-dwellers, residents of a place transformed from coal city to cultural capital, lived in the new cool capital, a boom city with a glittering night-life and affordable luxury living. …
Platonic Forehand versus Aristotelian Smash - the use of computers as macroscopes in knowing the social world
This paper draws on Desrosie `res, Hayles and Tukey in arguing for an exploratory approach to the use of numerical taxonomy and related approaches in quantitative social research. It asserts that rather than trying to develop algorithm (either in the form of equation sets or game rules) based representations which abstract 'variables' as analogies of Newtonian forces, we should centre on cases and deal with classifications. Then trajectories can …
A note on Bob Deacon's 'Strategies for welfare
Housing, class and health
It is argued that a socialist understanding of the reltionship between housing, class and health can and should be atiempted quantatively. Using a number of methodological procedurs the author claims that there is a definite correlation between housing and health, and that this can be quantatively assessed. This paper is an attempt to do something a bit unusual. What we are trying to do is to describe and assess the process of conceptualising and…
