The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations
Philosophy of Science and Its
Implications for the Study of World Politics
Patrick Thaddeus Jackson, American University, Washington DC, USA
Series: New International Relations
The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations provides an introduction to the philosophy
of science issues and their implications for the study of global politics. The author draws
attention to the problems caused by the misleading notion of a single unified scientific
method, and proposes a framework that clarifies the variety of ways that IR scholars establish
the authority and validity of their empirical claims. Jackson connects philosophical
considerations with concrete issues of research design within neopositivist, critical realist,
analyticist, and reflexive approaches to the study of world politics. Envisioning a pluralist
science for a global IR field, this volume organizes the significant differences between
methodological stances so as to promote internal consistency, public discussion, and worldly
insight as the hallmarks of any scientific study of world politics.
This important volume will be essential reading for all students and scholars of International
Relations, Political Science and Philosophy of Science.
Selected Contents: 1. Playing with Fire 2. Philosophical Wagers 3. Neopositivism 4. Critical Realism 5. Analyticism
6. Reflexivity 7. A Pluralist Science of IR
