This general dilemma also affects the MLP, with most empirical research using (single) case study
methodologies. So, transition research could probably benefit from the application of other methods
such as comparative or nested case studies, event-sequence analysis, network analysis, even-history
methods, and agent-based modelling. My concern, however, is that the MLP should not be reduced to
a mechanical procedure by forcing it into a variance theory straightjacket. The research of complex
phenomena such as transitions cannot be reduced to the application of methodological procedures
and will always contain elements of creative interpretation.
