The only textbook for designing and conducting research in IR.

Covering the full breadth of methods in IR with unrivalled clarity, this best-selling textbook takes you through the entire process of doing research, from honing your question to writing up the dissertation. The engaging and jargon-free style demystifies the entire process, and you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and limitations of different methods and how to use them in your project.

This third edition comes with two new chapters on how to collect data and how to analyze data, plus a new troubleshooting feature in every chapter to offer top tips for addressing challenges.
