Description

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 plurality of 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.Typham this is the title: Researching Emotions in International Relations Methodological Perspectives on the Emotional Turn
