Providing expert advice from established scholars in the field of
political science, this engaging book imparts informative guidance
on teaching research methods across the undergraduate curriculum.
Written in a concise yet comprehensive style, it illustrates
practical and conceptual advice, alongside more detailed chapters
focussing on the different aspects of teaching political
methodology. Each chapter draws on practised teaching methods
covering the what, how and when for teaching political methodology
with an in-depth look at systematic research methods. The book is
split into four distinct sections for undergraduate research
methods education: the approach, the foundations of research
design, quantitative analysis and qualitative data. All the advice
is evidence-based and grounded in the science of teaching and
learning (SoTL) literature from experienced, award-winning and
highly recognized instructors of political methodology. Teaching
Undergraduate Political Methodology will be required reading for
faculty wanting to establish excellent methods for challenging
subjects within the fields of political science, public
administration and public policies. It will also serve as a useful
resource for instructors wishing to gain greater student engagement
with their courses by utilising different methods.

How do emerging states become full, functioning members of the
international system? In this book, Cameron G. Thies argues that
new and emerging states are subject to socialization efforts by
current member states, which guide them in locating their position
in the international system. Thies develops a theoretical approach
to understanding how states socialize each other into and out of
different roles in the international system, such as regional
power, ally, and peacekeeper. The concept of state socialization is
developed using role theory, a middle-range theory developed in the
interdisciplinary field of social psychology. This middle-range
theory helps to flesh out the theoretical mechanisms often missing
in grand theories like neorealism and constructivism. The result is
a structural theory of international politics that also allows for
the explanation of actual foreign policy behavior by states. The
foreign policy histories of the U.S. and Israel are analyzed using
this theoretical approach to show how international social pressure
has affected the kinds of roles they have adopted throughout their
histories, as well as the kinds of roles that they have not been
allowed to adopt. By considering the effects of international
socialization attempts on their foreign policy behavior, Thies
shows the well-known cases of the U.S. and Israel in a new light.
The United States, Israel and the Search for International Order
argues that the process by which states learn their appropriate
roles and behaviors in the international social order is crucial to
understanding international conflict and cooperation, which will be
significant for those studying both theory and method in
international relations, foreign policy, and diplomatic history.
This edited volume bridges the "analytical divide" between studies
of transatlantic relations, democratic peace theory, and foreign
policy analysis, and improves our theoretical understanding of the
logic of crises prevention and resolution. The recent rise of
populism and polarization in both the U.S.A and Europe adds to a
host of foreign policy crises that have emerged in transatlantic
relations over the last two decades. Through examining how
democracies can manage to sustain and maintain mechanisms of crisis
resilience that are embedded in the democratic peace, and
particularly transatlantic relations, this book helps enhance the
understanding of inter-democratic crisis resolution across issue
areas. In doing so, it addresses some of the most important and
prevalent crises of our time, such as anti-terrorism intervention
in Afghanistan; Iran's nuclear program; burden-sharing within North
Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO; key aspects of the international
order, such as binding norms for cyber security and the integration
of China into the Western-led international economic order; as well
as domestic order shifts, such as the British vote to leave the
European Union (EU) and the impact of the Trump administration
populist foreign policy on transatlantic crisis resolution. This
book will be of key interest to students and scholars of
International Relations, Transatlantic Studies, Foreign Policy
Analysis, and Comparative Politics.

In Rising Powers and Foreign Policy Revisionism, Cameron Thies and
Mark Nieman examine the identity and behavior of the BRICS (Brazil,
Russia, India, China, and South Africa) in light of concerns that
rising powers may become more aggressive and conflict-prone. The
authors develop a theoretical framework that encapsulates pressures
for revisionism through the mechanism of competition, and pressures
for accommodation and assimilation through the mechanism of
socialization. The identity and behavior of BRICS should be a
product of these two forces as mediated by their domestic foreign
policy processes. State identity is investigated qualitatively by
using role theory and identifying national role conceptions, while
economic and militarized conflict behavior are examined using
Bayesian change-point modeling, which identifies structural breaks
in a time series of data revealing potential wholesale revision of
foreign policy. Using this innovative approach to show the behavior
of rising powers is not simply governed by the structural dynamics
of power, but also by the roles these rising powers define for
themselves, they assert this process will likely lead to a much
more evolutionary approach to foreign policy and will not
necessarily generate international conflict.
