Dedicated to the empirical analysis of data from the world of international relations, SSIP scholars tend to focus on interstate conflicts, civil wars, and conflict management. The range of perspectives in this edited volume provide a comprehensive introduction to SSIP theory and methodology.
* Fresh approach traces intellectual development of research approaches rather than merely summarizing results
* Features original SSIP material not found in other books
* Includes a number of essays with a broader assessment of SSIP methods - ideal for younger scholars interested in the approach
* Includes recent SSIP analyses exploring issues such as civil wars
