Description:All academic disciplines periodically appraise their effectiveness, evaluating theprogress of previous scholarship and judging which approaches are useful and which are not. Althoughno field could survive if it did nothing but appraise its progress, occasional appraisals areimportant and if done well can help advance the field.This book investigates how internationalrelations theorists can better equip themselves to determine the state of scholarly work in theirfield. It takes as its starting point Imre Lakatos's influential theory of scientific change, and inparticular his methodology of scientific research programs (MSRP). It uses MSRP to organize itsanalysis of major research programs over the last several decades and uses MSRP's criteria fortheoretical progress to evaluate these programs. The contributors appraise the progress ofinstitutional theory, varieties of realist and liberal theory, operational code analysis, and otherresearch programs in international relations. Their analyses reveal the strengths and limits ofLakatosian criteria and the need for metatheoretical metrics for evaluating scientificprogress.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
