Rediscoveries and Reformulations: Humanistic Methodologies for International Studies

By Hayward R. Alker

Book Overview

In this book Hayward Alker presents his principal methodological rediscoveries of the past twenty years. He provides a rich set of humanistic alternatives to the conventional scientific approaches within international studies, and social science more generally. He offers a reinterpretation of premodern, modern, and postmodern thinkers from Aristotle to Connolly, and argues that the humanistic and scientific modes of inquiry can be integrated into a rigorous, philosophically rationalized methodology for international studies.
