Can anyone help me with research methodology please??!

S

Hello!
I am working on a PhD proposal about Britain and/in the Middle East and I'm wondering if anyone could help me pick a research methodology. I am thinking about Historicism (obvious)...what other tools do you suggest? I don't know if it's only me but I find this part more challenging than the actual research!!! Your input is greatly appreciated. Anything related to Chomsky methodology-wise would be a plus.
Please don't hesitate to send me links to actual proposals/ theses using the methods you advise. I am really stuck!!!
Thanks for your help!!!
