Edited by Rossana Deplano, Professor of Law, University of Leicester, UK and Nicholas Tsagourias, Professor of International Law, University of Sheffield, UK<i>‘Overall, </i>Research Methods in International Law<i> provides readers with a bold collection of scholarship that studies the lenses through which we comprehend international law. The readings demonstrate how modern methodologies in the field of international law have evolved to take an interdisciplinary approach, changing the theory and altering the way the law is accessed by both practitioners and scholars.’</i>

<i>'Academic international lawyers may have come to consider and discuss methodological concerns relatively late, but today’s international law has grown into a mature academic discipline, taken seriously both by outside audiences and itself. This Handbook contains a rich overview of contending approaches and techniques, often proxies for grand theories and perspectives. It offers food for thought, inspiration, wisdom, and things one can cheerfully disagree with - the editors are to be congratulated for having produced such a well-rounded volume.'</i>

Split into five parts, the chapters cover key topics across doctrinal, empirical, socio-legal, interdisciplinary research methods and methodology. The contributors also apply their knowledge and insight to explore the relationship between different research methods and their role in international legal theory, reasoning and practice. Covering a range of diverse subjects yet written in a methodical style, the contributors furthermore engage with rethinking international law methods.
This comprehensive Handbook will be invaluable for researchers in international law, as well as being an excellent resource for graduate and doctoral students.
