Network Analysis in International Relations and Security Studies

Abstract

This panel examines the added value of using network analysis to examine questions of international cooperation pertaining to IR and European studies. We welcome submissions that apply a relational approach and discuss the advantages and challenges of such methodological innovations in fields such as foreign policy analysis or crisis management. This panel seeks to cross-fertilize IR research with relational public policy scholarship and to critically examine the usability of relational approaches in IR and European studies. We understand relationality to encompass any theories united by an emphasis on the theoretical and analytical significance of connections, ties, transactions, and other kinds of relations among entities.
