This article offers a broad unifying analytical framework which includes this range and variety while bringing some order into a field which can overwhelm individual scholars. The framework has three tiers: macro, meso and micro. These refer respectively to global and transhistorical factors; national and cultural factors; and local and personal factors. A case study is outlined (mental health, violence and coercion) to illustrate the utility of the framework. Its advantages and limits are then discussed in relation to interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity.
