Summary

Chapter 3 discusses methodological issues such as the need for a particular explanatory style to investigate multi-dimensional longitudinal change processes in large-scale heterogenous entities such as socio-technical systems. Chapter 3 also provides an operational analytical template for the empirical analyses in subsequent chapters and discusses the data-sources we used.
