Conclusion : closure, cumulation, and international relations theory. 330 $aThrough the use of logic, simulation, and empirical data, Benjamin A. Most and Harvey Starr develop and demonstrate a nuanced and more appropriate conceptualization of explanation in international relations and foreign policy in Inquiry, Logic, and International Politics. They demonstrate that a concern with the logical underpinnings of research raises a series of theoretical, conceptual, and epistemological issues that must be addressed if theory and research design are to meet the challenges of cumulation in the study of international relations (or any area of social science). The authors argue for understanding the critical, yet subtle, interplay of the elements with a research triad composed of theory, logic, and method. 410 0$aStudies in international relations (Columbia, S.C.) 606 $aInternational relations$xResearch 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational relations$xResearch. 676 $a327.1/01 700 $aMost$b Benjamin A.$0909636 702 $aStarr$b Harvey 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461079403321 996 $aInquiry, logic, and international politics$92035581 997 $aUNINA
