About this book
Reviews
“An essential—and rare—instrument for achieving empirical research in International Relations, combining the common expertise of the discipline with the distinctive characteristics of the French approach.” (Bertrand Badie, Full Professor, Sciences Po, Paris, France)
“Building on the rich tradition of French international political sociology, Guillaume Devin and his contributors do a real service to students of International Relations, by combining a set of clear ‘how-to’ guides with lucid discussions of the merits and limits of a variety of methods, ranging from interviews to archival research, from cartography to statistics, and from the analysis of discourse to that of images.” (Vincent Pouliot, Professor and William Dawson Scholar, McGill University, Canada)
