Divi ded into three main sections\, it begins by briefly elaborating on six d ichotomies identified in the paper’s three headline disciplines: 1) conc eptual/methodological\, 2) international/comparative\, 3) convergence/di vergence\, 4) standardisation/localisation\, 5) transfer/diffusion\, 6) feasibility/adaptability. It then uses comparable case study evidence of the United Kingdom’s 2024 election debate on National Service to detail the iterative purification process necessary to conceptualise and conte xtualise comparable phenomenon within an international context. By explo ring the historical\, spatial\, and developmental reasons why countries adopt national service\, the mini-case study also examines the related p rospects for lesson learning and policy transfer\, before converting the m to an HR context. Finally\, the webinar concludes by revisiting the is sue of case selection across the single\, small-N\, and large-N study po ssibilities\, both within and across subject disciplines.\n\nAbout the s peaker:\n\nPaul Higgins is an associate professor within the Faculty of Business and Law at Anglia Ruskin University.

This webinar de velops insights from the presenter’s 2024 HRMR paper “Conceptual and methodological issues in international and comparative HRM: transferrin g lessons from comparative public policy”. Divided into three main sections, it begins by briefly elaborating on six dichotomies identified in the paper’s three headline disciplines: 1) conceptual/methodological , 2) international/comparative, 3) convergence/divergence, 4) standardis ation/localisation, 5) transfer/diffusion, 6) feasibility/adaptability. It then uses comparable case study evidence of the United Kingdom’s 2024 election debate on National Service to detail the iterative purificatio n process necessary to conceptualise and contextualise comparab le phenomenon within an international context. By exploring the historic al, spatial, and developmental reasons why countries adopt national serv ice, the mini-case study also examines the related prospects for lesson learning and policy transfer, before converting them to an HR context. F inally, the webinar concludes by revisiting the issue of case selection across the single, small-N, and large-N study possibilities, both within and across subject disciplines.
