Conflict, War, and Peace
An Introduction to Scientific Research
- Sara McLaughlin Mitchell - University of Iowa, USA
- John A. Vasquez - University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA, Colgate University, USA
The examined contributions by names such as Stuart Bremer, Paul F. Diehl, John A. Vasquez, Bruce Russet, Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Randolph M. Siverson are followed by a methodological note that explains with clarity and precision the contribution to knowledge and the methods used. The originality consists in the process of breaking down what researchers take for granted and adapting it to the undergraduate level of understanding. Against this background, the book addresses a missing link in the module and course handbooks and takes the form of a curated set of lessons in research methods aimed to ‘highlight some of the key research studies on interstate conflict’.
