Gregory J. Moore: An International Relations Research Methods Toolkit, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Moore presents an innovative framework for research methods in international relations (IR), offering researchers a comprehensive introduction to a wide array of tools.

The book examines recent methodological developments while surveying key literature in IR methods, guiding students and scholars through the process of research design, from selecting research questions and hypotheses to framing, outlining, and presenting their work effectively. Each chapter bridges the gap between IR theory and practical research, providing essential insights into the ontological, epistemological, and methodological foundations that connect abstract concepts to real-world analysis. It also includes a primer on forty commonly used research tools, offering concise explanations, practical applications, and bibliographies for further reading.

An essential resource for students and scholars in the field of international relations as well as those interested to understand political science and social science research methods.
