| Short description
This edited volume offers students and researchers in international relations a wide-ranging survey of SSIP, the well established analytical approach to IR that employs rigorous methodology. Both strands of SSIP are represented here, one devoted to the collection and analysis of data, the other concerned with developing IR theories using mathematical models. This book reflects recent developments, which include a growing emphasis on civil wars, and models linking domestic and international processes.
