Abstract

In Chap. 2, I analysed three case studies, one on climate change and two on water governance and management, using an analytical framework called PULSE³. I base this framework on the argument that positivism has difficulty investigating and explaining fundamental social process like, ambiguity, paradox, uncertainty and contradiction. The purpose of PULSE³ is to generate a healthier appreciation of the issues faced by policy makers and practitioners engaged in the South African and international water sectors. PULSE³ has three interlinked components: the research paradigm assessment tool; the ethos of analytic eclecticism and the repertoire of theories. I also present the reader with a way to operationalise the ethos of analytic eclecticism and the repertoire of theories. All-in-all, PULSE³ is an analytical tool to assist the research scientist and practitioner to investigate policies, plans, programmes and strategies differently that the traditional cost-benefit analyses uncovered in Chap. 2.
