Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rationalist, scientific, and constructivist methods are all considered research methods in international relations. Rationalist methods focus on the strategic choices of rational actors, scientific methods involve empirical observation and hypothesis testing, and constructivist methods examine how international actors' identities and interests are constructed through social interaction. "Casual methods" is not a recognized term in this context; it might be a typographical error for "causal methods," which would fall under scientific methods.
