While emotions have become of increasing interest to IR theory,methodological challenges have yet to receive proper attention. Acknowledging the pluralityof ontological positions, concepts and theories about the role of emotions in world politics,this volume presents and discusses various ways to research emotions empirically. Based onconcrete research projects, the chapters demonstrate how social-scientific and humanitiesorientedmethodological approaches can be successfully adapted to the study of emotionsin IR. The volume covers a diverse set of both well-established and innovative methods,including discourse analysis, ethnography, narrative, and visual analysis. Through a hands-onapproach, each chapter sheds light on practical challenges and opportunities, as well as lessonslearnt for future research. The volume is an invaluable resource for advanced graduate and postgraduatestudents as well as scholars interested in developing their own empirical research onthe role of emotions.
