This study book, written by Sandra Halperin and Oliver Heath, offers a complete and practical overview of research methods for students of international relations. It covers both quantitative and qualitative methods and emphasizes practical skills for conducting independent research.
The content is divided into three parts: the philosophy of the social sciences, methodological tools, and reporting. This gives students a broad and in-depth view of the research process. The book includes up-to-date examples on political topics such as migration and the rise of the far right.
