Network Analysis in International Relations

Abstract

This panel examines the added value of network analysis to examine questions of cooperation pertaining to International Relations. We welcome submissions that apply relational approaches and discuss the advantages and challenges of such methodological innovations in fields such as foreign policy analysis, crisis management and, specifically, studies from the Global South, which remain underrepresented in political network research. This panel aims to cross-fertilize International Relations research with relational public policy scholarship and to critically examine the usability of relational approaches in International Relations. 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.
