Double-weighted statement

The case for double weighting is based on the grounds of conceptual development, data collection, complex sources and critical insight. The central concept of France’s contingent governance was robustly tested in the 2004-2007 period. Complex data collection took the form of approximately 300 interviews, with specific material on reform of the State being gathered in high-level interviews in the Prime Minister’s office, the Budget, Finance, Defence, Education and Culture ministries in the 2004-2007 period (British Academy and AHRC grants, chapters two and four). These elite-level interviews were difficult to negotiate (overcoming the gatekeeper problem) and conduct (in sophisticated French).
