Research and Writing in International Relations, Third Edition,
offers the step-by-step guidance and the essential resources needed
to compose political science papers that go beyond description and
into systematic and sophisticated inquiry. This book provides
concise, easy-to-use advice to help students develop more advanced
papers through step-by-step descriptions, examples, and resources
for every stage of the paper writing process. The book focuses on
areas where students often need guidance: understanding how
international relations theory fits into research, finding a topic,
developing a question, reviewing the literature, designing
research, and last, writing the paper. Including current and
detailed coverage on how to start research in the discipline's
major subfields, Research and Writing in International Relations
gives students a classroom-tested approach that leads to better
research and writing in introductory and advanced classes. New to
the Third Edition: A new first chapter that gives an overview of
the relationship between international relations theory and
research in international relations, demonstrating how theoretical
frameworks shape the concepts utilized, topics selected, and
questions posed in international relations research. Revised topic
chapters that include updates to the scholarly literature and data
sources Revised descriptions of the areas of study that incorporate
new research topics (like global inequality) Additional
perspectives from international relations theory.
Communication is central to how we understand international
affairs. Political leaders, diplomats, and citizens recognize that
communication shapes global politics. This has only been amplified
in a new media environment characterized by Internet access to
information, social media, and the transformation of who can
communicate and how. Soft power, public diplomacy 2.0, network
power - scholars and policymakers are concerned with understanding
what is happening. This book is the first to develop a systematic
framework to understand how political actors seek to shape order
through narrative projection in this new environment. To explain
the changing world order - the rise of the BRICS, the dilemmas of
climate change, poverty and terrorism, the intractability of
conflict - the authors explore how actors form and project
narratives and how third parties interpret and interact with these
narratives. The concept of strategic narrative draws together the
most salient of international relations concepts, including the
links between power and ideas; international and domestic; and
state and non-state actors. The book is anchored around four
themes: order, actors, uncertainty, and contestation. Through
these, Strategic Narratives shows both the possibilities and the
limits of communication and power, and makes an important
contribution to theorizing and studying empirically contemporary
international relations. International Studies Association:

Spaces of War, War of Spaces provides a rich, international and
multi-disciplinary engagement with the convergence of war and media
through the conceptual lens of 'space'. 'Space' offers a profound,
challenging and original framework through which notions of
communication, embodiment, enactment, memory and power are
interrogated not only in terms of how media spaces (traditional,
digital, cultural, aesthetic, embodied, mnemonic) transform the
conduct, outcomes and consequences of war for all involved, but how
'war' actors (political, military, survivors, victims) recreate
space in a manner that is transformative across political, social,
cultural and personal spheres. Foregrounding the work of artists,
activists and practitioners alongside more traditional scholarly
approaches Spaces of War, War of Spaces engages with the
'messiness' of war and media through the convergence of practice
and theory, where showing and embodying is made explicit.
