Approaches, Levels, and Methods of Analysis in International Politics Crossing Boundaries

Leading scholars incorporate domestic and international aims, choices, factors, and processes to explore the advantages of crossing methodological and analytical boundaries to gain a better understanding of international relations. They examine both the " why" behind the complexity of international affairs and how scholars can study it and advance knowledge through complex causal paths.

Harvey Starr is the Dag Hammarskjöld Professor in International Affairs and Chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of South Carolina.
