The increasing interest in psychosocial methods justifies a comparison of elements of clinical psychoanalysis and research interviews. The article outlines the pressures for a paradigm shift in psychoanalysis and research which has led to an overlap between disciplines. While psychoanalysis is under pressure to justify itself with an evidence base, this runs against its constructivist positioning. In contrast, some researchers are becoming dissatisfied with distance and with impersonal and superficial methods. It is argued that motivation for entering each situation is similar if viewed in terms of a search for deeper understanding of the relational self. The research question is compared to the fundamental rule of psychoanalysis, and the notion of free association in the research setting is critiqued. Interpretation in the research setting is problematized. Suggestions are put forward for an integrated and reflexive means of engagement based on the researcher's 'reverie' responses with participants.

The adoption of countertransference, an idea drawn from psychoanalytic theory, by qualitative researchers is examined. It is argued that its definition in the qualitative research literature has often been muddled due to the too-simple mapping of a clinical concept into the research setting. Most definitions either examine countertransference in terms of feeling states or behaviours that participants 'put into' or 'project' into researchers, or make a sharp distinction between this interpretation of countertransference and another that involves the activation of the researchers' own neuroses. Various manifestations in the research setting that have been described as potentially containing elements projected from the participant are outlined, such as changes in feeling and bodily states, or 'mistakes' on the part of the researcher. Alternative suggestions for the use of the researcher's feeling and bodily states are put forward. These include, cross-comparing these data with other elements and seeing them as potentially created in the intersubjectivity between participant and researcher.

Considérant l'Asie-Pacifique comme un espace stratégiquement contesté, cet article examine le paysage du renforcement des institutions internationales dans la région. Nous nous appuyons sur la littérature relative aux institutions internationales pour comprendre comment l'anarchie institutionnelle de la région a donné naissance au Partenariat transpacifique et à son successeur. Nous analysons ensuite la dynamique changeante de l'élaboration des règles régionales et soulignons les implications stratégiques de la concurrence réglementaire dans la région.
