“…According to Popper, this pre-scientific, random and intuitive phase of research is not worth being properly taken into account. An abductive scientist would argue, rather, that this phase of research is the only one which can truly develop something new and creative (Bromley 2006;Reichertz 2003). As discussed elsewhere (Schlüter 2007b), much of new theoretical development in institutional economics seems to follow this process of creative recombination.…”

Institutional change in the forest sector: trust and mental models

The paper looks, from a perspective of institutional economics, at a process of change of rules and organisational practises in the forestry sector, particularly drawing on a case study of small-scale private forest owners in the Allgäu, Bavaria. It is argued that the process of change may be initiated by the traditional factors mentioned by the various theories of institutional change (technological change, changes in preferences, changes in relative factor prices, etc.). However, the direction of change observed in the short run cannot be understood with the help of efficiency theories of institutional change. Denzau and North (1994) extended those theories by introducing mental models as explanatory variables. Mental models are the interpretations (half-baked theories) people use to understand their environment. As observed, mental models play a crucial role in determining the direction of change. However, the question that arose was: what determines the selection of mental models in an uncertain environment? It is observed that trust plays an important role. Therefore, an extension of the Douglas and North theory is suggested.

“…The above described process is an abductive approach to research (Reichertz 2003). Driven by the observation of a so far unexplainable phenomenon, existing theory is recombined 10 and fructified with empirical data, as to help find a plausible explanation for the observed phenomenon.…”

“…The immanent, expressive and documentary dimensions that have turned out to be relevant to the articles' sequences are condensed to codes of genre patterns. Next, the patterns are subsumed to the process of 'constant comparison' and selective codings in Une with the principies of the grounded theory (Strauss and Corbin, 1998) on the basis of an abductive posture (Peirce, 1998(Peirce, /1931Reichertz, 2003). Thus, it becomes possible to explore the stability and fragility of genre patterns amounting to press genres, but also the emergence of new genres from a synchronic and diachronic perspective.…”

Critical discourse analysis of the Iraq conflict in the British and German 'quality' press

This paper focuses on how the British and Germán' quality' press has dealt with the warfare interests of the US administration in Iraq. In this context, particularly the papers' presentation practices with regard to the ostensible existence of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) and the alleged terrorist connection of al Qaeda with Saddam Hussein will be closely investigated. In order to operationalise this research agenda, I follow a cultural heuristics of research that consists of a social studies approach and the application of pragmalinguistic methods (including the analysis of frames, conceptoal metaphors, speech acts, schemata of communication etc.) from a genre-based perspective. By virtue of this framework, it becomes possible to determine press genres and their cultural impact as well as the borderlines of discourse cultures about the de-/construction of war. The findings comprise a wide variety of empirical evidence for the shaping of policy lines in the papers' front page articles from a comparative intra-European perspective.
