This edited volume is the first to discuss the methodological
implications of the 'emotional turn' in International Relations.
While emotions have become of increasing interest to IR theory,
methodological challenges have yet to receive proper attention.
Acknowledging the pluralityof ontological positions, concepts and
theories about the role of emotions in world politics, this volume
presents and discusses various ways to research emotions
empirically. Based on concrete research projects, the chapters
demonstrate how social-scientific and humanitiesoriented
methodological approaches can be successfully adapted to the study
of emotions in IR. The volume covers a diverse set of both
well-established and innovative methods, including discourse
analysis, ethnography, narrative, and visual analysis. Through a
hands-on approach, each chapter sheds light on practical challenges
and opportunities, as well as lessons learnt for future research.
The volume is an invaluable resource for advanced graduate and
postgraduate students as well as scholars interested in developing
their own empirical research on the role of emotions.
Recognition is often considered a means to de-escalate conflicts
and promote peaceful social interactions. This volume explores the
forms that social recognition and its withholding may take in
asymmetric armed conflicts, examining the risks and opportunities
that arise when local, state, and transnational actors recognise,
misrecognise, or deny recognition of armed non-state actors. By
studying key asymmetric conflicts through the prism of recognition,
it offers an innovative perspective on the interactions between
armed non-state actors and state actors. In what contexts does
granting recognition to armed non-state actors foster conflict
transformation? What happens when governments withhold recognition
or label armed non-state actors in ways they perceive as
misrecognition? The authors examine the ambivalence of recognition
processes in violent conflicts and their sometimes-unintended
consequences. The volume shows that, while non-recognition prevents
conflict transformation, the recognition of armed non-state actors
may produce counterproductive precedents and new modes of exclusion
in intra-state and transnational politics. -- .
