Multiple Paths to Knowledge in International Relations provides a
uniquely valuable view of current approaches and findings in
conflict studies. This volume showcases work informed by four
powerful research tools: rational choice theory and game theory;
simulation, experimentation, and artificial intelligence;
quantitative studies; and case studies. Each research method is
introduced and evaluated for its specific potential, including both
strengths and weaknesses. Throughout, the notable contributors
clearly explain how they choose, frame, and go about answering
questions. While expanding our knowledge of particular conflicts,
from the Crimean War to the Vietnam War to ongoing
Palestinian-Israeli instability, Multiple Paths also furthers our
understanding of how to conduct research in international
relations.
This widely used and acclaimed text reader brings together some of
the best work on the onset of war, the expansion of war, the
conditions of peace, and the termination and impact of war.
Editorial commentary on the major findings and the statistical
analysis used in each study teaches students how to read the
article so that they can become literate in social science methods.
A learning package in the appendix provides a programmed text to
teach students how to interpret tables, read basic statistics, and
conduct elementary data analysis. Correlates of War data on
European countries is provided, and a methodological table of
contents allows instructors to assign articles from the easiest
(simple percentages) to the most advanced (time series and formal
modeling).
