What kinds of knowledge do international relations theories seek? How do they search for it and claim to have found it? Lebow uses his answers to these questions to say something important about the theory project in IR, and in the social sciences more generally.

This volume ws the winner of The International Studies Association Theory Section Book Award 2013, presented by the International Studies Association and The Yale H. Ferguson Award 2012, presented by International Studies Association-Northeast. There are many different scientifically valid ways to produce knowledge. The field of International Relations should pay closer attention to these methodological differences, and to their implications for concrete research on world politics. The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations provides an introduction to the philosophy of science issues and their implications for the study of global politics. The author draws attention to the problems caused by the misleading notion of a single unified scientific method, and proposes a framework that clarifies the variety of ways that IR scholars establish the authority and validity of their empirical claims. Jackson connects philosophical considerations with concrete issues of research design within neopositivist, critical realist, analyticist, and reflexive approaches to the study of world politics. Envisioning a pluralist science for a global IR field, this volume organizes the significant differences between methodological stances so as to promote internal consistency, public discussion, and worldly insight as the hallmarks of any scientific study of world politics. This important volume will be essential reading for all students and scholars of International Relations, Political Science and Philosophy of Science.

Excerpt from The Value of Knowledge in International Relations: An Address Given by the Right Hon. Viscount Grey of Fallodon, K. G I suppose what we all feel is an intense desire never to have again a war 'like the war we have just passedthrough. But, to avoid it, it is essential not merely that there should be good relations between governments, but that there should be good relations between peoples. All the' great nations of the world are, or we hope soon will be, democratic nations. That means that it will be in the power of the peoples to prevent the governments going to war; but it also means that the governments will not have the power to prevent war unless the peoples themselves are alert, determined and active to keep the peace. Now the only sure basis of peace, that I can see, is international understanding. That is what your movement is intended to promote; and in helping it I am sure you can do an incalculable amount of good. Your movement is not going to be limited to good understanding between English-speaking peoples; you rightly wish it to be world wide. And, therefore, I would ask you to bear in mind that if I happen to give, in the course of what I am going to say, illustrations drawn more particularly from British and American experience, I am using these because they are illustrations that come naturally to me after having been some three months in the United States. I am using them as illustrations and not with the idea that this movement is exclusively concerned with the English speaking peoples.

This book emerges from within the everyday knowledge practices of International Relations (IR) scholarship and explores the potential of experimental writing as an alternative source of ‘knowledge’ and political imagination within the modern university and the contemporary structures of neoliberal government. It unlocks and foregrounds the power of writing as a site of resistance and a vehicle of transformation that is fundamentally grounded in reflexivity, self-crafting and an ethos of care. In an attempt to cultivate new sensibilities to habitual academic practice the project re-appropriates the skill of writing for envisioning and enacting what it might mean to be working in the discipline of IR and inhabiting the usual spaces and scenes of academic life differently. The practice of experimental writing that intuitively unfolds and develops in the book makes an important methodological intervention into conventional social scientific inquiry both regarding the politics of writing and knowledge production as well as the role and position of the researcher. The formal innovations of the book include the actualization and creative remaking of the Foucaultian genre of the ‘experience book,’ which seeks to challenge scholarly routine and offers new experiences and modes of perception as to what it might mean to ‘know’ and to be a ‘knowing subject’ in our times. The book will be of interest to researchers engaged in critical and creative research methods (particularly narrative writing, autobiography, storytelling, experimental and transformational research), Foucault studies and philosophy, as well as critical approaches to contemporary government and studies of resistance.
