The course aims at introducing the fundamentals of research strategies and methodologies traditionally applied in International Relations and Security Studies. The primary objective of the course is to gain familiarity with the character of qualitative research, principles of its research design and some of the core methodologies, methods and techniques that can be applied to investigate social phenomena qualitatively. Particular emphasis is placed on acquiring a sufficient understanding of the logic of qualitative research design with the aim to promote students’ independence when navigating the diverse terrain of qualitative methodologies, but especially when applying the knowledge gained throughout the course to make competent and confident methodological choices in their Master’s dissertations.
