The disintegration and questioning of global governance structures and
a re-orientation toward national politics combined with the spread of
technological innovations such as big data, social media, and
phenomena like fake news, populism, or questions of global health
policies make it necessary for the introduction of new methods of
inquiry and the adaptation of established methods in Foreign Policy
Analysis (FPA). This accessible handbook offers concise chapters from
expert international contributors covering a diverse range of new and
established FPA methods. Embracing methodological pluralism and a
belief in the value of an open discussion about methods’ assumptions
and diverging positions, it provides new, state-of-the-art research
approaches, as well as introductions to a range of established
methods. Each chapter follows the same approach, introducing the
method and its development, discussing strengths, requirements,
limitations, and potential pitfalls while illustrating the method’s
application using examples from empirical research. Embracing
methodological pluralism and problem-oriented research that engages
with real-world questions, the authors examine quantitative and
qualitative traditions, rationalist and interpretivist perspectives,
as well as different substantive backgrounds. The book will be of
interest to a wide range of scholars and students in global politics,
foreign policy, and methods-related classes across the social
sciences. Chapters 4, 25 and 32 of this book are available for free in
