Qualitative methods in international relations = a pluralist guide /
Qualitative methods in international relationsa pluralist guide /[electronic resource] :edited by Audie Klotz and Deepa Prakash. - Basingstoke [England] ;Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - xii, 260 p. - Research methods series.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 238-254) and index.

Thinking tools / Anna Leander -- Feminist methodological reflection / Brooke Ackerly -- Case selection / Audie Klotz -- Discourse analysis / Iver B. Neumann -- Historical representations / Kevin C. Dunn -- Ethnographic research / Hugh Gusterson -- Process tracing / Jeffrey T. Checkel -- Political personality profiling / Jerrold M. Post -- Content analysis / Margaret G. Hermann -- Pragmatic analysis / Gavan Duffy -- Agent-based modeling / Matthew J. Hoffmann -- 'Qualitative' methods? / Samuel Barkin -- Practicing pluralism / Deepa Prakash.

The main terrain of methodological disputes in the social sciences is empirical research, including the delineation of legitimate research questions, allocation of funding for projects, and employment in the profession. Yet we still lack practical answers to one of the most basic questions: How should researchers interpret meanings? The contributors take seriously the goals of both post-modernist and positivist researchers, as they offer detailed guidance on how to apply specific tools ofanalysis and how to circumvent their inherent limitations. Readers willunderstand what is at stake in selecting from discourse, speech acts, and semiotics - or even content analysis. Researchers willbe able to decide when to combine tools drawn from different analytical traditions - perhaps discourse analysis to inform the construction of a dictionaryfor context-sensitive computerized coding. The results will be deeper interdisciplinary understanding and better research.
