This new handbook is about the practices of conducting research on
military issues. As an edited collection, it brings together an
extensive group of authors from a range of disciplinary
perspectives whose chapters engage with the conceptual, practical
and political questions raised when doing military research. The
book considers a wide range of questions around research about, on
and with military organisations, personnel and activities, from
diverse starting-points across the social sciences, arts and
humanities. Each chapter in this volume: Describes the nature of
the military research topic under scrutiny and explains what
research practices were undertaken and why. Discusses the author's
research activities, addressing the nature of their engagement with
their subjects and explaining how the method or approach under
scrutiny was distinctive because of the military context or subject
of the research. Reflects on the author's research experiences, and
the specific, often unique, negotiations with the politics and
practices of military institutions and military personnel before,
during and after their research fieldwork. The book provides a
focussed overview of methodological approaches to critical studies
of military personnel and institutions, and processes and practices
of militarisation and militarism. In particular, it engages with
the growth in qualitative approaches to military research,
particularly research carried out on military topics outside
military research institutions. The handbook provides the reader
with a comprehensive guide to how critical military research is
being undertaken by social scientists and humanities scholars
today, and sets out suggestions for future approaches to military
research. This book will be of much interest to students of
military studies, war and conflict studies, and research methods in
general.
