Causation in International Relations - Kurki, Milja (Dr, University of Wales, Aberystwyth)

Milja Kurki examines the meaning of the concept of cause in international relations. Proposing an approach to causal analysis that emphasizes the importance of multi-causality and accepts the validity of many social science methods, she suggests that reinterpreting the notion of 'causation' opens up avenues for future IR scholarship.
