Abstract

This chapter sets out the methodology; it operationalizes the theoretical framework and explains how the research was conducted. This research is qualitative, deductive, emerging comparative case study research, shaped by my experience in climate change adaptation research and participation in several research projects involving Latin American and Canadian researchers (see Sect. 1.​6). The methodology is a combination of the multi-level institutional method adapted from Young et al. (2005), together with four additions (see Sect. 3.2).

Power is key in understanding the dynamics of institutions; it is also a cross-cutting theme of the ESGP informing the multi level institutional analysis (see Sect. 3.2). Power is the ability to achieve one’s aims in the face of opposition from others (Egan and Chorbajian 2005). Working together with others is a form of power. It is also the capacity for acting in such a manner as to control others’ responses (Dahl 1956) determined by the resources possessed and issues to be decided (Held 1987). Power is non-hierarchical and competitive (ibid.) and may be held by one entity, or is dispersed among many (Egan and Chorbajian 2005).

Policy instruments are used by state or non-state actors in order to influence behaviour and affect a certain response (Anderson 2010: 242). Policy instruments “are designed to cause people to do things, refrain from doing things, or continue doing things they would otherwise not do” (Anderson 2010: 242).
